How our film set catering works in Hinton Waldrist
Crew numbers can be large, and carving serves a crowd fast. Rolls or plates, salads and potatoes make a proper lunch. We are frequently asked to cater historic house shoots and crew appreciation lunches, with rotisserie chicken, salads and spit-roast lamb.
Rural locations near Hinton Waldrist can be a long way from food, so lunch at base matters. Our chef carves in front of your crew, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten

- Count crew needing an alternative
- Halal isn’t offered
We arrive early and set up at base, roasting through the morning.
