Film set catering in Westcott, carved to order
We liaise with your locations and production team on access, base layout and timings. We serve new potatoes, spit-roast lamb and halloumi skewers, and we’re often booked for unit base lunches and historic house shoots.
Near Westcott, crews may be miles from anywhere to eat, so lunch at base matters. Our chef carves in front of your crew, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Not everyone eats pork, so plan an alternative. A few pointers:
- Plan separately for halal if needed
- Share the allergen list with the crew
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
We serve quickly on the call.
