Film set catering for your shoot in Hurstbourne Tarrant
On a long shoot day near Hurstbourne Tarrant, a hot lunch on time matters. A hog roast suits a unit base: it roasts through the morning and is carved fast when lunch is called. For wrap parties and base catering, we’ll put together a menu of halloumi skewers, spit-roast lamb and a vegan option for your crew.
Rural locations near Hurstbourne Tarrant can be a long way from food, so hot food at base is a big help. We bring plates as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.
Allergies and dietary needs
Rolls and stuffing generally contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. Other tips:
- Share the allergen list with the crew
- Halal isn’t offered
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Request gluten-free rolls
If lunch moves, we hold the roast a little; just let us know.
Add salads and potatoes for a full lunch.
About the food
Spit-roast lamb
Lamb roasted on the spit is a lovely alternative to pork, especially for crew who do not eat pork.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
