Film set catering in Westcroft, carved to order
Crews in Westcroft work long days, and lunch needs to be hot and on time. A hog roast works well at base: it roasts through the morning and is carved fast when lunch is called. Popular choices include salads, hog roast rolls and rotisserie chicken, and we’re regularly asked to cater countryside locations and crew thank-you days.
Near Westcroft, base may be a field or yard, so ground conditions matter. Everything we need to roast, carve and serve comes with us, and we leave the spot tidy when we go.
