Film set catering for your shoot in Linton

For a shoot in a place like Linton, tracks and soft ground need checking before the day. The hog is roasted on site at your shoot, low and slow, for hours, then carved fresh for your crew.

Looking after everyone
Not everyone eats pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. A few pointers:
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Tell us who doesn’t eat pork
- Share the allergen list with the crew
We clear our spot after lunch.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
