Film set catering for your shoot in Watermead
We need an outdoor spot at base, clear of vehicles and kit, in a position locations are happy with. For ad shoots and location days, we’ll put together a menu of rotisserie chicken, new potatoes and halloumi skewers and more.
Near Watermead, base may be a field or yard, so ground conditions matter. The carving happens right in front of your crew, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
