Film set catering for your shoot in Stone Corner
We need an outdoor spot at base, clear of vehicles and kit, agreed with the location manager. We serve new potatoes, salads and halloumi skewers, and we are regularly asked to cater lunch at base and shoots on location.
Near Stone Corner, check tracks and ground with locations. The carving happens right in front of your crew, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

How it works
Service is quick once we start carving: the chef carves and the team serves, and sides go out at the same time. Afterwards we clear the serving area and pack away. In December, daylight in Stone Corner ends around 3:50pm, so the unit base needs lighting for late service. In summer, light lasts until about 9:15pm.
