About the food
Crackling
For many people, the crackling is the best bit: crisp, golden and full of flavour, straight off the hog.
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Our vegan option is a vegan burger or sausage, in a roll, with salad on the side.
Film set catering in Westley, carved to order
Chicken, lamb, halloumi skewers and a vegan option cover most crews, with allergen details for everything. Whether it’s historic house shoots and rural locations, we can cook a vegan option, spit-roast lamb and hog roast rolls and more.
Near Westley, check tracks and ground with locations. The carving happens right in front of your crew, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Not everyone eats pork, so it’s worth adding an alternative. A few pointers:
- Count crew needing an alternative
- Post allergen details at base
- Plan separately for halal if needed
- Ask the production office for dietary needs
We arrive early and set up at base, so the roast is ready by lunch.
Ask about china, quoted separately.
