About our film set catering in Brabourne Lees
We work with location managers and production offices on access, base layout and timings for shoots around Brabourne Lees. For shoots on location and extended shoot days, we’ll put together a menu of new potatoes, salads and rotisserie chicken and more.
Near Brabourne Lees, crews may be miles from anywhere to eat, so hot food at base is a big help. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, slowly, over several hours.
The menu, dish by dish
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Let us know numbers for the vegan option, and we’ll plan the vegan burgers or sausages.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Soft rolls hold the pork, stuffing and apple sauce together, perfect for eating on the move. Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Looking after everyone
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. A few more tips:
