On-set catering for Cardiff & South Wales productions

Salt Wind Catering feeds film and TV crews across Cardiff and South Wales — one of the UK’s busiest HETV hubs, home to Wolf Studios Wales (Doctor Who, His Dark Materials), Seren Stiwdios and BBC Roath Lock. We cross the Severn to feed the crew, with a fully self-contained mobile kitchen and a schedule built around your call sheet.

Whether you are on a stage block at Wolf Studios or on a city or coast location across the Vale of Glamorgan, we plan access, load-in and hot-food logistics around the shoot — and build travel and accommodation into the quote up front.

In August 2026 we did exactly that in the Brecon Beacons — a two-day shoot at Llandovery and then the Llyn y Fan Fach car park beneath the Black Mountain, 250 road miles from our Cornish kitchen, with no venue, no mains power and no water at either site. How that job ran, service by service.

We travel to set — from Cornwall to Cardiff

Henry Byass·

“We had big pans from salt wind for our wedding and the food was AMAZING. Mark and his team could not have been more helpful throughout the whole process and were a dream to work with. Nothing was ever too much trouble and so many people have said how lovely the food was. I’d book them for another event in a heart beat!”

Kate Sullivan·Giant Pan — Wedding

Special mention for the amazing coleslaw and chicken they were totally scrumptious! Will definitely use again and can highly recommend Salt Wind thanks for your great service!!”

“Saltwind came up to sunny Devon for Jo’s 60th party. Everyone absolutely loved the Hog Roast. We had a party of 55 and we were still finishing off the food at 3am. Mark and the guys were great and worked so hard to keep everyone fed. The crackling was awesome! And we all loved the beef as well! Was everything we wanted and more ! Cheers to Saltwind!”
