Film set catering in Wildridings, carved to order
The roaster cooks outdoors under cover, away from equipment and trucks, agreed with the location manager. Whether it is lunch at base and wrap days, we can cook a vegan option, salads and new potatoes for your crew.
For a location shoot near Wildridings, base might be in a field or farmyard, so ground conditions matter. Our chef carves in front of your crew, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
