About our film set catering in Thorncombe Street
Chicken, lamb, halloumi skewers and a vegan option cover most crews, and we provide allergen information for every dish. We serve halloumi skewers, spit-roast lamb and rotisserie chicken, and we’re regularly asked to cater milestone days on set and historic house shoots.
Near Thorncombe Street, check tracks and ground with locations. The carving happens right in front of your crew, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
Looking after everyone
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Share the allergen list with the crew
- Keep vegetarian food labelled
We work to the location’s rules.
