Film set catering for your shoot in Twyford
Crews in Twyford work long days, and lunch needs to be hot and on time. A hog roast works well at base: it roasts through the morning and is carved fast when lunch is called. On the menu are rotisserie chicken, a vegan option and halloumi skewers, and typical bookings are for shoots on location and farm and estate locations.
Near Twyford, crews may be miles from anywhere to eat, so lunch at base matters. You’ll know what’s included before you book: serving times, the menu, staff and anything else agreed.
Planners, venues and businesses
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it is worth asking first. We will liaise with them on access and set-up.
Booking for a club or group? One clear contact makes everything easier, especially on the day.
What comes off the roaster
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Not everyone eats meat, and halloumi skewers give them a proper hot option.
Roast pork
Everything starts with the slow-roasted pork: carved in front of you, a mix of shoulder and leg, and served hot.
