Gloucestershire spans honey-stone Cotswold villages, Gloucester’s cathedral cloisters (Harry Potter) and the ancient woodland of the Forest of Dean — a location favourite for Star Wars, Sex Education and His Dark Materials. Salt Wind Catering works each on its own terms, off-grid where the woodland has no power.

Coverage
We travel to set — right across the region
Unit catering is a travel-to-location business. From our Cornwall base the self-contained mobile kitchen reaches your unit base or studio anywhere across the South West and South Wales — travel, and accommodation for multi-day shoots, agreed in writing up front.

Gloucestershire filming locations — catering notes
Gloucester Cathedral & Docks
The cloisters stood in for Hogwarts (Harry Potter); the Victorian docks host period drama. City base with cathedral liaison and timed access around visitors.
Forest of Dean
Ancient woodland used for Star Wars: The Last Jedi, Sex Education and His Dark Materials. Off-grid woodland bases — generators, gas and water all self-supplied.
Puzzlewood
Otherworldly moss-covered woodland (Star Wars, Doctor Who, Merlin). Off-grid; we base at the site entrance and carry in.
Bibury & Arlington Row
The quintessential Cotswold village — endless period work. Narrow lanes call for a compact, well-drilled base.
Sudeley Castle
Tudor castle and gardens in regular drama use. Country-house unit-base with room for vehicles and marquees.
Berkeley Castle
Medieval castle used for Wolf Hall and The Other Boleyn Girl. Estate bases coordinated with the site.
Lower & Upper Slaughter, Bourton
Chocolate-box Cotswold villages and the "Venice of the Cotswolds". Small village bases and tight lanes.
Severn Vale & Slimbridge
Wetland, river and wide skies. Remote, self-contained bases with no mains 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.
