Film set catering in Blissford, slow-roasted on site
There are options for crew who do not eat pork, and we provide allergen information for every dish. Popular choices include rotisserie chicken, spit-roast lamb and hog roast rolls, and we’re regularly asked to cater lunch at base and countryside locations.
Rural locations near Blissford can be a long way from food, so lunch at base matters. We bring plates as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Count crew needing an alternative
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Stuffing typically contains gluten
We arrive early and set up at base, so the roast is ready by lunch.
