Film set catering for your shoot in Haslar
From commercials to long-form drama, we fit around the call sheet. For historic house shoots and music video days, we’ll put together a menu of halloumi skewers, a vegan option and new potatoes.
Near Haslar, check tracks and ground with locations. 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.
For planners, venues and organisers
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Check early, and pass on anything they need from us.
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so check before booking. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
About the food
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Soft rolls hold the pork, stuffing and apple sauce together, easy to eat standing up. Ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them.
Roast pork
Our chef carves the pork as it is needed, so it stays hot and juicy.
