About our film set catering in Woolhampton
We liaise with your locations and production team on where we set up and when. Popular choices include hog roast rolls, new potatoes and salads, and we are regularly asked to cater lunch at base and music video days.
Near Woolhampton, crews may be miles from anywhere to eat, so lunch at base matters. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.
