About our film set catering in Forty Green
There are options for crew who do not eat pork, and we provide allergen information for every dish. We’re often asked to cater historic house shoots and long shoot days, with a vegan option, new potatoes and rotisserie chicken.
Near Forty Green, crews may be miles from anywhere to eat, so hot food at base is a big help. The hog is roasted on site at your shoot, low and slow, for hours, and carved only when you are ready to eat.
