About our film set catering in West End
Crews in West End work long days, and lunch needs to be hot and on time. A hog roast suits a unit base: it roasts through the morning and is carved fast when lunch is called. On the menu are spit-roast lamb, new potatoes and rotisserie chicken, and we are regularly asked to cater end-of-shoot wraps and crew appreciation lunches.
Around West End, locations can be rural. Tell us about the route to base. You’ll know what’s included before you book: the date, the serving time, the menu and the plates, with no surprises on the day.

What affects the price in West End
We don’t use a fixed price list, because every shoot is different. The main factors are:
- Season and day of the week
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- Plates or china
- Site access
When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
