Film set catering for your shoot in Three Mills
Rural and period locations near Three Mills can be miles from anywhere to eat, so hot food at base matters. We’re often asked to cater wrap days and crew thank-you days, with new potatoes, halloumi skewers and hog roast rolls.
In Three Mills, access to base can be tight, so send us the route and restrictions. Timings are planned around your shoot, working back from when you want to eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.
