About our film set catering in Britwell
Chicken, lamb, halloumi skewers and a vegan option cover most crews, and we provide allergen information for every dish. For end-of-shoot wraps and countryside locations, we’ll put together a menu of spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken and salads.
Shoots around Britwell often use houses, farms and lanes. Tell us about the route to base. The carving happens right in front of your crew, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
