How our film set catering works in Frilford
Crews can be big, and carving feeds plenty of people quickly. Rolls or plates, salads and potatoes make a proper lunch. Whether it is crew thank-you days and long days on set, we can cook a vegan option, rotisserie chicken and salads and more.
Near Frilford, crews may be miles from anywhere to eat, so hot food at base is a big help. Plates come as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.

- We agree our position at base with the location manager.
- We carve to order the moment lunch is called.
