Film set catering for your shoot in Wigley
Crew numbers can be large, and carving feeds plenty of people quickly. Rolls or plates, salads and potatoes make a proper lunch. Whether it’s wrap days and location shoots, we can cook a vegan option, salads and halloumi skewers and more.
Near Wigley, check tracks and ground with locations. Timings are planned around your shoot, working back from when you want to eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.
Planning for dietary needs
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Stuffing typically contains gluten
- Label the alternatives clearly
- Tell us who does not eat pork
- Post allergen details at base
If lunch moves, we hold the roast a little.
Lamb or chicken gives the crew a choice.
