- We start with the location, call times and numbers.
- You get a check on access and a quote.
- We agree where we set up and when we arrive.
- We carve to order the moment lunch is called.
- We pack away straight after service.
Getting ready for the day

How our film set catering works in Worlds End
Crews can be big, and carving feeds a lot of people quickly. Add sides for a full meal. On the menu are spit-roast lamb, halloumi skewers and new potatoes, and we’re regularly asked to cater period drama shoots and farm and estate locations.
For a shoot in a place like Worlds End, tracks and soft ground need checking. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, low and slow, for hours, then carved fresh for your crew.
