Looking after everyone
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Some ideas:
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Collect crew dietary needs from the call sheet
- Keep vegetarian food labelled
A cooked roast can wait; just let us know.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.

What affects the price in Ford
We do not use a fixed price list, because every shoot is different. What matters most:
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- The date and time of year
- How long the roast and service take
- Crockery choices
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we are on site for much of the day, and the quote reflects that.
