Film set catering for your shoot in Denmead
There are options for crew who don’t eat pork, with allergen details for everything. Typical bookings include milestone days on set and base catering, serving rotisserie chicken, new potatoes and a vegan option.
For a location shoot near Denmead, base might be in a field or farmyard. 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.

Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Rolls make a hog roast easy to eat anywhere. Gluten-free rolls can be provided on request.
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Let us know numbers for the vegan option, and we will plan the vegan burgers or sausages.
