How our film set catering works in Warborne
Crews in Warborne work long days, and lunch needs to be hot and on time. A hog roast works well at base: we roast from early and carve on the call. On the menu are rotisserie chicken, new potatoes and spit-roast lamb, and we’re regularly asked to cater long days on set and end-of-shoot wraps.
Near Warborne, crews may be miles from anywhere to eat, so hot food at base is a big help. We plan the timings around your day, working back from when you want to eat.

- Collect crew dietary needs from the call sheet
- Post allergen details at base
- Label the alternatives clearly
When lunch is called, we carve fast.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
