Film set catering for your shoot in Boarshead
There are options for crew who do not eat pork, with allergen details for everything. We serve new potatoes, halloumi skewers and salads, and typical bookings are for shoots on location and extended shoot days.
Rural locations near Boarshead can be a long way from food, 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, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
