About our film set catering in Wyck
If lunch moves, a cooked roast can be held for a while. Give us a contact on the day and we will fit around changes. Whether it is extended shoot days and crew appreciation lunches, we will put together a menu of rotisserie chicken, spit-roast lamb and salads and more.
Near Wyck, crews may be miles from anywhere to eat, so hot food at base is a big help. Our chef carves in front of your crew, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling.
About the food

What happens on the day
The secret is time: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin crisps into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. Late-September shoots near Wyck lose the light at about 7:05pm, so a late wrap needs lighting at base.

- You get a check on access and a quote.
- Our position and arrival are agreed in advance.
