Film set catering in Hardwick, carved to order
Some locations near Hardwick are a long way from food, so hot food at base matters. Whether it’s unit base lunches and ad shoots, we’ll put together a menu of spit-roast lamb, halloumi skewers and salads for your crew.
Near Hardwick, crews may be miles from anywhere to eat, so hot food at base is a big help. The carving happens right in front of your crew, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling.

A closer look at the menu
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Crunchy coleslaw suits roast pork, while salads and potatoes make a plated meal.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
For vegetarians, halloumi and vegetable skewers are cooked separately from the meat, a hot, filling option of their own.
The process
Expect a calm, organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, use the cooking spot you’ve chosen, and get on with roasting and serving. On a winter shoot near Hardwick, the light goes by about 3:55pm, so the unit base needs lighting for late service. In summer, light lasts until about 9:30pm.

Can you cater for vegetarians?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. Halal meat isn’t something we offer.
Do we need to provide electricity?
