About our film set catering in Pollhill
There are options for crew who do not eat pork, and we provide allergen information for every dish. Typical bookings include base catering and extended shoot days, serving a vegan option, rotisserie chicken and halloumi skewers.
Rural locations near Pollhill can be a long way from food, so hot food at base is a big help. Timings are planned around your shoot, working back from when you want to eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.
