About the food
Rotisserie chicken
Chicken from the rotisserie gives people a non-pork choice, turned until the skin is golden.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Not everyone eats meat, so halloumi and vegetable skewers ensure they’re not left with just salad.

Chicken, lamb, halloumi skewers and a vegan option cover most crews, and we provide allergen information for every dish. For end-of-shoot wraps and historic house shoots, we can cook rotisserie chicken, a vegan option and spit-roast lamb for your crew.
