About our film set catering in Soldridge
Crews can be big, and carving serves a crowd fast. Rolls or plates, salads and potatoes make a proper lunch. For historic house shoots and shoots on location, we can cook salads, spit-roast lamb and rotisserie chicken.
For a shoot in a place like Soldridge, tracks and soft ground need checking before the day. Plates come as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.
The menu, dish by dish
Roast pork
Hours of slow roasting make the pork soft and full of flavour, and it is carved fresh as people come up.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
We can serve in rolls or on plates, and gluten-free rolls are available on request.
