On-set and location catering for UK and international productions, set up at your unit base with our own mobile kitchen, cast and crew self serve from the counter. Any full shoot day within 300 road miles of the kitchen, studios included.
A full day of food from call time to wrap, seasonal, flexible, and built around your call sheet. All dietary requirements covered and clearly labelled.
Most production caterers make you request a quote before you see a price. We publish ours: from £30 +VAT per head for a full shoot day.
Every quote is still built around your call sheet, crew size, shoot days, locations and dietary spread, so you start with a real number, not a black box.
Production Tiers
Three ways we cater productions
Every shoot quote is built around the call sheet, crew size, shoot days, locations and dietary spread. The tiers below are how productions tend to book us.
Most booked
Single day
Full Production Day
£30 +VAT pp
Call to wrap · mobile kitchen on location · billed on the day’s actual headcount
Both shoot-day tiers are the same £30 +VAT per head per day, billed on the call sheet’s actual headcount: the total scales with crew size and shoot days, never the rate. A single hot-boxed service, for Cornwall and Devon shoots, is priced on the spec and the travel, which is why the third card carries no day rate. Further afield we come for the full shoot day. Send the call sheet and we price the block. Small crew in Cornwall or Devon? See hot box catering delivered.
The fast lane
Got a call sheet? Skip the form.
Send your crew size, shoot dates and location, attach the call sheet if you have one, and we will price against it and come back the same day during office hours. No 20-field form, no black box.
Our own photographs, taken on jobs: the servery, the queue, the crew eating, and the base they sit in. Some frames include the facilities company's trucks alongside our kitchen, because that is how a unit base looks. Nothing here is stock.
Every one of these is a place we have actually catered, named on our own production pages. Where a job is confidential the page names a region at most, so it is not listed here.

About Salt Wind Catering film crew catering
Salt Wind Catering provides film and TV catering on set, hot meals for cast and crew on any shoot within 300 road miles of our kitchen: the South West and South Wales, the Thames Valley studios, and London. Based in Redruth, Cornwall.
Recent credits include Good Chaos’s Oddly Flowers.
For productions needing facilities as well as food, we work alongside JW Film Facilities, honey wagons, green rooms, makeup and costume, power and transport, so catering and full unit-base facilities come from local Cornwall teams.
The problem
Location caterers who can't handle a night shoot, a 60-person dietary sheet, or a scene change that moves lunch 3 hours.
What that costs
Unhappy crew. Slower days. A unit manager fielding complaints instead of doing their job.
Salt Wind Catering's fix
Hot meals to set on your schedule. Dietary sheets handled before day one. One number, one point of contact, no surprises.
On set with Salt Wind Catering
Cast & crew fed on location: hot meals from call time to wrap.Self-contained mobile kitchen: based in Redruth, no mains power needed.
What is film and TV crew catering?
Salt Wind Catering feeds cast and crew on location anywhere within 300 road miles of our Cornwall kitchen, hot breakfasts at call time, multi-course lunches, all-day craft service and, on Cornwall and Devon shoots, hot-boxed meals delivered to set. The kitchens carry their own power, gas, water and refrigeration, so cliff, beach and moor locations are no different to a studio car park. With 700+ events catered since 2024 and a 5.0★ rating from 67 reviews, the published day rate below is the one we have actually charged, and the quote is built per production from it.

Where we cover
We cover any shoot within 300 road miles of our kitchen in Cornwall. That takes in the whole South West and South Wales, the South Coast and Sussex, Berkshire, Surrey and London, the Thames Valley and Home Counties, including Pinewood, Shepperton, Leavesden and Elstree, and as far north as Birmingham and Leicester.
Filming at the far edge of that, Leavesden, Elstree, Birmingham, west Kent or west Wales? The team bases up locally for the run. Cornwall and Devon work is cooked from our four named suppliers, all inside 47 miles of the kitchen; on a distant unit base we buy the fresh produce, meat and bread in near you, so it is made on the day and the supply run stays short. Travel and crew accommodation are costed per shoot and confirmed in writing before you commit.
The mobile kitchen carries its own power, water and refrigeration, so it sets up on a backlot or a unit base without a hookup. Travel and crew accommodation are costed per shoot and confirmed in writing before you commit.

More about how we work on location
How do you cater productions filming in Cornwall?
Film schedules change without warning, call times shift, locations move, numbers fluctuate.
Read more
Film schedules change without warning, call times shift, locations move, numbers fluctuate. With named credits from two back-to-back ZDF films (42 shoot days) to Microsoft, Morrisons and Finisterre, scaling a unit base up or down is routine.
Built around your schedule
Early calls, night shoots, split days and continuous working days. That is the job. A continuous lunch instead of a single sitting, supper and late breaks after dark, hot boxes out to a splinter unit. Supper, late breaks and night shoots are priced on top of the day rate, against your call sheet, tell us the schedule and the quote comes back the same day.
300 road miles from the kitchen
Moors, clifftops, city sets, our mobile kitchens reach anywhere. Based in Redruth, we cover any shoot within 300 road miles: the South West and South Wales, the studio belt, and London.
All dietary needs covered
Vegan, vegetarian, gluten-free, dairy-free, clearly labelled for cast and crew. Send us your dietary sheet and we will handle the rest.
Hot meals on or off site
Our mobile kitchen set up on location, or on Cornwall and Devon shoots, individual hot-boxed meals delivered to set. Whichever suits the production, we can do it.
International productions welcome
Salt Wind Catering is experienced in catering for international film crews working in Cornwall, including German television productions. We understand the logistics, the dietary variety, and the pace of location filming.

The team bases up locally
Filming at the far edge, Leavesden, Elstree, Birmingham or west Wales? The crew stays near your unit base for the run.
Fresh food bought near you
Produce, meat and bread are bought in close to the unit base, so it is made on the day and the supply run stays short.
A self-contained kitchen
It carries its own power, water and refrigeration, so it sets up on a location or a studio backlot without a hookup.
Travel costed in writing
Travel and crew accommodation are costed per shoot and confirmed in writing before you commit.

Production sustainability
Productions reporting against BAFTA albert need real numbers, not greenwash. Salt Wind Catering is an albert-aligned supplier: we set up at your unit base with our own mobile kitchen, food is made to order against the confirmed call-sheet headcount to cut waste, with vegan and gluten-free options at every service, food waste logged for your production's report, and compostable service ware.
albert certifies productions, not caterers, so what you actually need from us is data you can report. We give you a per-event sustainability statement (PDF) listing the suppliers used, the packaging composition, the vehicle movement and our made-to-order policy, the supplier detail your production coordinator drops straight into albert's carbon footprint calculator. Commercials and brand shoots report to AdGreen rather than albert, and the same statement carries everything that calculator asks for. Ask for it on your quote request.
The supply chain is local: bread, meat, dairy, fish and produce come from four Cornish suppliers, all within 47 miles of our kitchen. Short local supply runs keep food miles and carbon down. More on our sourcing, energy and waste practices on our sustainability page.
Sustainability
Local suppliers. Plant-based packaging. One trip.
4 Cornish food suppliers, all delivering to our Redruth kitchen. Service packaging plant-based across the board, no conventional plastics. One van, one trip per event.
No greenwash. Just who supplies us, the packaging inventory, and what we're working on.
Case studies
Recent shoots
TV feature film
FFP New Media
Heart Waves / Herzwellen
Up to 60 cast & crew daily
Hayle, Penryn, Harlyn Bay, Padstow
'Heart Waves / Herzwellen', a German-language television film in the long-running Rosamunde Pilcher series, produced by FFP New Media for ZDF and filmed on location across Cornwall over 21 shoot days in June and July 2026. A Salt Wind Catering team was on set throughout, moving with the unit between locations all over the county, hot breakfasts, lunch and all-day craft services for the daily crew and cast, with dietary requirements managed end-to-end.
A one-day television commercial for Charlie Bigham’s, produced by Academy Films, shot in Cadgwith Cove on the Lizard. Fifty crew, and nowhere to park a unit at the cove: the crew left their cars at the top of the hill and walked down. Salt Wind Catering pitched a self-contained mobile kitchen on the recreation ground at Ruan Minor, about 800 metres above the cove, cooking before sunrise, and drove every service down the lane to the cove in our van, hot-boxed, so the crew never left the location to eat. The production first asked for a food truck; what the job needed was a kitchen that could work where a truck could not.
Llandovery (Carmarthenshire), Llyn y Fan Fach (Bannau Brycheiniog)
Two-day location shoot high in the Welsh mountains for FatFace, 23 crew plus the models, fed at two remote sites in Carmarthenshire and Bannau Brycheiniog, the second of them only reachable by 4x4. No venue, no mains power, no water and no hookup at either. Salt Wind Catering travelled up from Cornwall fully self-contained and worked to the call sheet to the minute: on location for a 07:00 catering pre-call, a full hour before the 08:00 unit call, both days. Rolling hot breakfast at 08:30 as the crew came off the transit run, a hot lunch served on location in the one-hour window at 13:15, craft table restocked at both breaks, and tea and filtered coffee running from pre-call to an 18:00 wrap.
“Salt Wind Catering were a joy to work with - clear communication & excellent food. They catered for 100 people with different dietary requirements and were so professional. I would recommend to anyone.”
“I recently booked Salt Wind Catering for one of our corporate events and I can honestly say they exceeded expectations in every area. From the initial enquiry through to the event itself, the communication was excellent – clear, responsive, and professional, which made organising everything straightforward and stress-free. On the day, the team were punctual, well organised, and seamlessly fitted in with the flow of the event. The food was outstanding. High quality ingredients, cooked perfectly, and presented beautifully. It wasn’t just “good catering food” – it was genuinely impressive, and we received a constant stream of compliments from both our staff and guests throughout the event. What really stood out was the level of care and pride the team take in their work. They understand how important reliability and presentation are at corporate events, and they delivered both effortlessly. It made a big difference knowing we were in safe hands. I would confidently recommend Salt Wind Catering to any business or individual looking for exceptional food and a professional, dependable service. We’ll absolutely be using them again for future events. Owner, The Cleanno Group”

Carly·Wedding Buffet: delivered
“We ordered the Children's Buffet Party Food through Salt Wind Catering for our daughter's 4th birthday party, and my husband and I were very impressed and pleased with their product and service--as were several parents at the party, who asked who we used! The food arrived on time, beautifully presented, fresh, and plentiful, with a lovely variety of food which is perfect for young children--pleasing even the pickiest eaters. The menu was customised for us, down to the sandwich ratios. I tend to be a "stress head" so using Salt Wind instead of attempting to do all the food myself, greatly reduced my stress and it was better than what I could have prepared anyhow (among other things, there'd be no way I could manage the hot options). Overall it was great value and I highly recommend.”

Mark was very approachable, helpful and friendly on the phone and the man who delivered the food (Sam?) was also a credit to the company. The food was delivered on time and was really fresh and beautifully presented! The Vegetable Platter and the Fruit Platters were definitely show stoppers. Everything tasted delicious.

Travel and crew accommodation are costed transparently per shoot and confirmed in writing up front.
Yes, for studios inside our area, which is anywhere within 300 road miles of Cornwall. That includes Shepperton, Pinewood, Warner Bros. Studios Leavesden and Elstree, The Bottle Yard in Bristol, Shinfield near Reading and Wolf Studios Wales in Cardiff. We bring a self-contained mobile kitchen with its own power, water and refrigeration, so we are not reliant on studio facilities. For longer runs we base the team locally and cost travel and crew accommodation transparently in your quote up front. Tell us the studio or location, dates and crew size and we will quote it.
Call 01209 206255 or email info@saltwind.catering with your production dates, crew size, and schedule. We work on a quote basis, pricing depends on crew numbers, shoot days, call times and menu. We can usually confirm availability and get a quote back the same day during office hours.
Tell us your dates as early as you have them and we will hold them, productions are the one case where we do, because a shoot date is not a date you can just move. If we genuinely cannot cover a day we will say so straight away rather than leave it open, and we will tell you what we can do around it: the days either side, part of a block, or a split between unit base and second unit. Either way you get a straight answer the same day in office hours, not a maybe.
Yes. Salt Wind Catering regularly caters international productions filming in Cornwall, including German television crews. We are experienced with long shoot days, varied cast and crew dietary requirements, and the logistics of feeding large crews at remote locations in Cornwall. Get in touch with your production dates and crew size and we will put a quote together.
Yes. Where productions are split across unit base, main unit and second unit in different locations, we can coordinate hot-boxed meal delivery to each drop point to match your schedule. Talk us through your shoot plan and we will work out the logistics.
Yes. We invoice in GBP, work with standard production payment terms, and are used to dealing with UK and international production accountants. Purchase orders, payment schedules tied to shoot blocks and consolidated invoicing are all fine.
Yes. Alongside our catering we work with JW Film Facilities, a Cornwall-based facilities and transport company, honey wagons, green rooms, makeup and costume trailers, generators and unit transport. That means catering plus full unit-base facilities from local teams who know the locations and roads of Cornwall.
Yes: Salt Wind Catering is a BAFTA albert-aligned crew caterer. On location the food is cooked from our own mobile kitchen, bought from four named suppliers inside 47 miles, made to order against the call-sheet headcount to cut waste, with vegan and gluten-free options at every service and food waste logged for your production's report. albert certifies productions, not caterers, so what we give you is a per-event sustainability statement (PDF) listing the suppliers, packaging, vehicle movement and made-to-order policy, the supplier data your coordinator drops straight into albert's carbon footprint calculator. Ask for it on your quote request.
Yes. albert is the scheme for broadcaster-commissioned television, and commercials and brand shoots report to AdGreen instead. Catering is an activity area in both calculators and they ask for the same things, so the per-event sustainability statement (PDF) works for either: the suppliers used, the packaging composition, the vehicle movement and our made-to-order policy against the confirmed call-sheet headcount. Ask for it on your quote request.
