About the food
Spit-roast lamb
Lamb on the spit roasts gently for hours, and it is carved the same way, frequently with mint sauce.
Crackling
Crackling takes hours to get right, and a whole hog roasted slowly gets it just right.
Film set catering in Wendlebury, carved to order
Some locations near Wendlebury are a long way from food, so hot food at base matters. We are often asked to cater farm and estate locations and base catering, serving halloumi skewers, rotisserie chicken and spit-roast lamb.
For a shoot in a place like Wendlebury, tracks and soft ground need checking before the day. The hog is roasted on site at your shoot, low and slow, for hours, then carved fresh for your crew.
