About our film set catering in Tudeley
Rural and period locations near Tudeley can be miles from anywhere to eat, so a hog roast at base keeps the crew fed. For ad shoots and wrap parties, we will put together a menu of halloumi skewers, rotisserie chicken and hog roast rolls for your crew.
Near Tudeley, check tracks and ground with locations before the day. Our chef carves in front of your crew, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
The menu, dish by dish
Crackling
The skin crisps up over the hours of roasting, and we break it up so everyone gets a piece.
Spit-roast lamb
With lamb as well, there are two roasts to choose from, which suits bigger events.
Organising for someone else?
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before booking. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
If you are a venue or event planner, we can fit around your other suppliers.
