On-set catering for productions filming in Dorset

Salt Wind Catering feeds film and TV crews across Dorset — from the Broadchurch cliffs at West Bay to off-grid clifftop work at Durdle Door and period drama around Corfe and Purbeck. The mobile kitchen is fully self-contained and the schedule is built around your call sheet.

Coastal weather and long carries from clifftop parking are the Dorset norm — we plan the base position and hot-food logistics with your location manager so meals reach set hot and on time, wherever the unit is.

Coverage

We travel to set — from Cornwall to Dorset

Unit catering is a travel-to-location business. From our Cornwall base the self-contained mobile kitchen reaches your unit base anywhere within 300 road miles — travel, and accommodation for multi-day shoots, agreed in writing up front.

Dorset Coverage

Dorset filming locations we cater

A non-exhaustive list — if your shoot is in Dorset, we will get there.

01

West Bay & Bridport

The Broadchurch cliffs and harbour. Cliff-top access and coastal weather planned with the location manager; base at the road head, hot food to set.

02

Durdle Door & Lulworth

Iconic arch and cove (Far From the Madding Crowd, Nanny McPhee). Off-grid clifftop with a long carry — we base at the road end and run hot food down.

03

Corfe Castle & Purbeck

Ruined castle, steam railway and heathland — proper period-drama territory. Village and estate bases around visitor access.

04

Studland & Poole Harbour

Beach, dune and harbour shoots with tidal access windows. Load-in timed around the tide and the ferry.

05

Sherborne & Cranborne Chase

Abbey, stately homes and dark-sky downland. Country-house unit-bases with easy vehicle access.

06

Lyme Regis & the Jurassic Coast

Fossil cliffs and World Heritage coastline. Off-grid is the norm — the mobile kitchen is built for it.

07

Mapperton House

Jacobean manor and gardens (Emma, 2020; Tom Jones). Country-house unit-base with room for vehicles.

08

Lyme Regis & the Cobb

Fossil coast and the famous Cobb (The French Lieutenant’s Woman, Ammonite). Off-grid is the norm on the seafront and cliffs.

09

Sherborne

Abbey, old and new castles and honey-stone streets, a period-drama regular. Country-town bases with good access.

10

Kingston Lacy

National Trust mansion and estate in constant period use. Parkland bases with easy vehicle access.

Live cooking at the unit base

Crews respond to a fire and a smell in the air. We cook live at base wherever the location allows.

Hog roast

Cornish pork joints slow-roasted over hours at unit base. Crackling, apple sauce, fresh rolls — a wrap-day favourite.

Charcoal BBQ

Real charcoal grilling at the unit base. Flexible portion rounds, multiple proteins, sides cooked alongside.

Giant pan

Paellas, curries and tagines cooked in front of the crew. Cost-effective at scale and a proper morale lift.

Street food

Live-cooked street-food formats — flatbreads, gyros, loaded fries, tacos. Fast service, hot food, short queues.

“Free food!”

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

“Just returned from my wifes 50th birthday party and the caterers were superb. Salt Wind Catering provided top quality food and plenty of it the party was for 50 people and we had plenty. 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!!”

Paul brocklehurst·50th Birthday

“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!”

Roger Palfrey·Hog Roast — 60th, Devon

“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.”
