What else we do in Cumnor
Planning for dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Post allergen details at base
- Label the alternatives clearly
- Collect crew dietary needs from the call sheet
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
We follow location rules on vehicles and timings.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
What the cooking area needs
The roaster needs space, cover and a safe distance from anything that could catch the heat. Before booking, check:
- Vehicle access to base
- Shelter for crew
- A level area at base
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.

About the food
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
For vegetarians, halloumi and vegetable skewers are cooked separately from the meat, so they get something hot and satisfying too.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Soft rolls hold the pork, stuffing and apple sauce together, easy to eat standing up. Ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them.
