About our film set catering in Temple Ewell
Wrap parties suit a hog roast too. Whether it is long days on set and lunch at base, we will put together a menu of salads, new potatoes and spit-roast lamb.
Rural locations near Temple Ewell can be a long way from food, so hot food at base is a big help. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we leave the spot tidy when we go.
Step by step
Expect a calm, organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, set up where we have agreed, and get on with roasting and serving. Because the roast starts early, and winter daylight in Temple Ewell ends around 3:50pm.
