About our film set catering in Woodgreen
Rural and period locations near Woodgreen can be miles from anywhere to eat, so a hog roast at base keeps the crew fed. For shoots on location and crew appreciation lunches, we’ll put together a menu of a vegan option, halloumi skewers and new potatoes and more.
For a shoot in a place like Woodgreen, tracks and soft ground need checking. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we’ll tell you exactly what’s in each dish before you book.
Planning the cooking spot
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, so a few things are worth checking:
- Approval from locations
- Vehicle access to base
- Away from vehicles and equipment
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.
