Devon Filming Locations
Catering Availability & Access Notes

Practical catering notes for Devon's most-used filming locations — what works, what is constrained, and how Salt Wind Catering handles each.

Film crew eating a hot meal at a unit base — on-set catering by Salt Wind Catering

Devon is one of the UK’s most-filmed counties — moorland, cliffs, harbours and country houses — and almost none of its headline locations has a venue kitchen attached. Salt Wind Catering works each on its own terms: live cooking at the unit base where access allows, drop-and-serve where it does not.

Devon filming locations — catering notes

01

Dartmoor

Wild granite moorland — War Horse and Sherlock’s Hound of the Baskervilles country, and a period and adventure staple. Off-grid is the norm; our generators and gas handle the exposure and weather.

02

Clovelly

Cobbled cliff-side fishing village with a vehicle ban in the village itself. We base at the top car park and hot-box down to set.

03

Saltram House

National Trust mansion and parkland near Plymouth (Sense and Sensibility, 1995). Country-house unit-base with easy vehicle access.

04

Burgh Island

Art Deco island hotel off Bigbury (Agatha Christie’s And Then There Were None). Tidal sea-tractor access — we base on the mainland and time deliveries to the tide.

05

Hartland Quay & Abbey

Dramatic North Devon clifftops and headland. Off-grid only — the mobile kitchen is built for it.

06

Lynmouth & the Valley of Rocks

Exmoor coast — wooded gorges and open headland. Cold-weather hot food a particular strength.

07

Powderham Castle

Castle and deer park on the Exe estuary, a regular period-drama location. Estate bases with room for vehicles and marquees.

08

Tavistock & the Tamar Valley

Stannary market town and World Heritage mining valley. Good vehicle access and straightforward unit-base setup.

Salt Wind Catering's self-contained mobile kitchen — travels to unit bases and studios across the South West and South Wales
Self-contained mobile kitchen — gas, generators, water and refrigeration on board. No mains power or venue kitchen needed.

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.

Devon Filming Locations FAQs

Yes. Salt Wind Catering is set up to feed crews at the Devon locations on this page. Each has its own access constraints, which we coordinate with the production location manager in advance. We travel from our Cornwall base with a fully self-contained mobile kitchen.
Drop-and-serve. We cook at a sensible nearby unit base where the vehicle can park, then hot-box and deliver to the shoot point on a scheduled service round.
Usually yes — many headline locations are National Trust, council or private-estate sites. The production location manager handles permissions; we work to whatever pitch is allocated and flag any kit-access constraints in advance.
Clovelly and the remoter Dartmoor tors — Clovelly bans vehicles in the village, so we base at the top car park and hot-box down; open-moor tors mean fully off-grid working with a base at the nearest firm road access.
