How our film set catering works in Walton on the Hill
Crew numbers can be large, and carving feeds plenty of people quickly. Add sides for a full meal. We are frequently asked to cater ad shoots and farm and estate locations, with spit-roast lamb, new potatoes and halloumi skewers.
Near Walton on the Hill, crews may be miles from anywhere to eat, 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 pack away and leave the area as we found it.
