How our film set catering works in Whitton
Some locations near Whitton are a long way from food, so a hog roast at base keeps the crew fed. Whether it is end-of-shoot wraps and milestone days on set, we’ll put together a menu of halloumi skewers, new potatoes and rotisserie chicken for your crew.
Shoots in Whitton frequently use streets, yards and car parks as unit bases. Locations will arrange our position. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, slowly, over several hours, then carved fresh for your crew.
