Bristol is the South West’s busiest production hub — a UNESCO City of Film anchored by The Bottle Yard Studios, with £46m of filming spend in 2024–25. Salt Wind Catering works its studio and location bases alike, planning access and hot-food logistics around the shoot.

Bristol filming locations — catering notes
The Bottle Yard Studios & TBY2
The region’s largest stages (Poldark, Doctor Who spin-offs, Young Sherlock). Stage-door crew feeding — see our dedicated Bottle Yard catering page.
Bristol harbourside & SS Great Britain
Docks, quays and Georgian frontages doubling for many periods. City bases coordinated with Bristol Film Office.
Clifton & the Suspension Bridge
Grand terraces and the Avon Gorge. Tight residential access — a small footprint base and timed load-in.
Corn Street & the Old City
Georgian banks and cobbled streets that stand in for period London. Central bases with permits via the film office.
Tyntesfield
National Trust Victorian Gothic house and estate on the city fringe. Parkland bases with room for vehicles.
Ashton Court & Leigh Court
Mansions and parkland minutes from the centre — easy large bases with straightforward access.
Georgian Bath
The Royal Crescent and set-piece streets nearby (Bridgerton, Persuasion). Heritage restrictions mean we base off the crescent and hot-box to set.
Box7 & Patchway build spaces
Short-run stages and build space north of the city. Studio-yard bases, straightforward power and access.
How we approach access
Every filming location has its own constraints — vehicle access, pitch size, kit-carrying distance, mains availability (almost always none), wind exposure and landowner conditions. We coordinate with the production location manager in advance on every shoot.
Where the unit can pitch at the shoot point we run the mobile kitchen live; where access stops short we set up a sensible unit base nearby and run scheduled hot-boxed service rounds. Either way the food gets there hot and on time. We travel from our Cornwall base — travel, and accommodation for multi-day shoots, is confirmed in writing up front.
