Film set catering in Stubbles, slow-roasted on site
We need an outdoor spot at base, clear of vehicles and kit, agreed with the location manager. For farm and estate locations and milestone days on set, we will put together a menu of salads, spit-roast lamb and rotisserie chicken and more.
Near Stubbles, crews may be miles from anywhere to eat, so lunch at base matters. Our chef carves in front of your crew, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
