We work with location managers and production offices on where we set up and when. We are often asked to cater location shoots and crew appreciation lunches, with new potatoes, halloumi skewers and rotisserie chicken.
Rural locations near Sutton Scotney can be a long way from food, so hot food at base is a big help. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, slowly, over several hours, then carved fresh for your crew.
