About our film set catering in Waterside
On a long shoot day near Waterside, a hot lunch on time matters. A hog roast suits a unit base: we roast from early and carve on the call. For countryside locations and location shoots, we will put together a menu of hog roast rolls, halloumi skewers and spit-roast lamb.
For a shoot in a place like Waterside, tracks and soft ground need checking. Plates come as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.

Shooting in Waterside: unit bases and access
Waterside is about 1 mile south of Chesham, in Buckinghamshire. Hosts in Waterside book us for shoots of all sizes. Waterside is one of 263 towns and villages in Buckinghamshire where we cater. We cater events right across the region, from Waterside to Reading (about 24 miles away).

How the day works
Serving is straightforward: our chef carves and our staff fill the rolls or plates, and sides go out at the same time. Afterwards we clear the serving area and pack away. Late-September shoots near Waterside lose the light at about 7:05pm, so a late wrap needs lighting at base.
