About our film set catering in Wilmington
Whatever the production, we fit around the call sheet. We serve a vegan option, spit-roast lamb and hog roast rolls, and we are regularly asked to cater ad shoots and shoots on location.
Near Wilmington, crews may be miles from anywhere to eat, so hot food at base is a big help. We bring plates as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.
Allergies and dietary needs
Not everyone eats pork, so plan an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Keep vegetarian food labelled
- Collect crew dietary needs from the call sheet
- Stuffing usually contains gluten
Give us one contact in production.
China crockery is available on request.
