Film set catering in Stowting, slow-roasted on site
Some locations near Stowting are a long way from food, so a hog roast at base keeps the crew fed. Typical bookings include shoots on location and music video days, with rotisserie chicken, halloumi skewers and a vegan option.
Near Stowting, crews may be miles from anywhere to eat, so hot food at base is a big help. We plan the timings around your day, because the roast has to start hours before you eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.
