About our film set catering in Cranford
Rural and period locations near Cranford can be miles from anywhere to eat, so hot food at base matters. Popular choices include a vegan option, new potatoes and spit-roast lamb, and we’re regularly asked to cater extended shoot days and unit base lunches.
In Cranford, unit bases are frequently in car parks or yards. The location manager will agree where we set up. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.

Space, access and the venue
Most outdoor spaces can work if a few things are right. Here’s what we look for:
- A covered eating area
- A named contact at base
- A route for our vehicle
Cranford is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access can be tight: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.

What we serve, dish by dish
Spit-roast lamb

Rolls and gluten-free rolls
We can serve in rolls or on plates, and gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Not everyone eats pork, so it’s worth adding an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Label the alternatives clearly
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Stuffing generally contains gluten
