Film set catering in Wonersh, carved to order
Crew numbers can be large, and carving feeds a lot of people quickly. Rolls or plates, salads and potatoes make a proper lunch. On the menu are salads, rotisserie chicken and halloumi skewers, and we’re regularly asked to cater end-of-shoot wraps and farm and estate locations.
Near Wonersh, crews may be miles from anywhere to eat, so hot food at base is a big help. Your quote spells out what’s included: the date, the serving time, the menu and the plates, with no surprises on the day.

Planning the cooking spot is the key. Check these:
