What we serve, dish by dish
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Some crew will be vegetarian, so halloumi and vegetable skewers ensure they’re not left with just salad.
Roast pork
Hours of slow roasting make the pork soft and full of flavour, and it is carved fresh as people come up.
About our film set catering in Winchelsea
Rural and period locations near Winchelsea can be miles from anywhere to eat, so hot food at base matters. Whether it is unit base lunches and end-of-shoot wraps, we’ll put together a menu of spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken and hog roast rolls and more.
For a shoot in a place like Winchelsea, tracks and soft ground need checking before the day. We bring plates as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.

Do you work to set times?
That is exactly how we work.
Do you provide china?
