Film set catering in Chichester, carved to order
For a wrap party, a hog roast is relaxed and generous, with crew eating together at the end of the shoot. We are often asked to cater commercials and music videos and milestone days on set, serving halloumi skewers, a vegan option and hog roast rolls.
In a town like Chichester, unit bases are often in car parks, school grounds or yards. The roaster fits in at base. You will know what’s included before booking: serving times, the menu, staff and anything else agreed.
