Crew Catering at
Remote Locations

The locations other caterers turn down. Mountain car parks, clifftops, moorland and beaches with no power, no water and no kitchen — and a crew that still eats hot at call time.

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

Salt Wind Catering feeds film and TV crews at locations with no mains power, no water supply and no kitchen — mountain and upland car parks, clifftops, moorland, remote beaches and disused industrial sites. The mobile kitchen carries its own generators, gas, water, refrigeration and waste, so what the location lacks stops being the production’s problem.

In August 2026 we catered a two-day stills shoot for LW Production Services across the Brecon Beacons — day one at Llandovery, day two at the Llyn y Fan Fach car park beneath the Black Mountain, roughly 250 road miles from our Cornish kitchen. Around 30–35 crew, both days: breakfast, mid-morning, hot lunch, mid-afternoon and all-day tea and coffee. There is a car park at Llyn y Fan Fach and very little else.

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 within 300 road miles — the whole South West and Wales, the South Coast, London and the Home Counties studios, north to Birmingham — travel, and accommodation for multi-day shoots, agreed in writing up front.

Terrain

Locations we have worked, and what each one asks for

01

Mountain & upland

Llyn y Fan Fach in the Brecon Beacons is the type case — a car park below a glacial lake and nothing else. Base at the road head, everything carried in, nothing left behind.

02

Clifftop & coast path

Exposed, often a long walk from the nearest vehicle access, and weather that changes the plan. Hot food goes out in insulated transit for the last stretch.

03

Remote beach

Tidal access windows dictate load-in and load-out, not the call sheet. We agree the timings with the location manager before the day rather than on it.

04

Moorland & common land

Free-roaming stock makes sealed waste a requirement rather than good manners. Base position is agreed with the landowner in advance.

05

Disused industrial

Old mine and works sites give great texture and no services whatsoever. Level ground for the kitchen and a safe vehicle route in are the only two things we need.

06

Where the road runs out

If the unit base sits back from the road head, we pitch where the vehicles can reach and run hot food the last stretch on foot.

Salt Wind Catering's self-contained mobile kitchen — travels to unit bases and studios anywhere within 300 miles of Cornwall
Self-contained mobile kitchen — gas, generators, water and refrigeration on board. No mains power or venue kitchen needed.

What "self-contained" actually means

The mobile kitchen carries its own generators, LPG, charcoal, fresh water, refrigeration and waste containment. It does not need a mains hook-up, a standpipe, a venue kitchen or a hard floor. That is the whole reason a mountain car park is a workable unit base and not a problem to solve.

What we do need is a level pitch the vehicles can reach and whatever access the production has agreed with the landowner or the estate. Permissions, road closures and site agreements are the production’s to hold — we work to the access you have arranged, and we plan the base position with your location manager before the day rather than negotiating it on the morning.

Waste goes out with us. On common land and in national parks that is not a courtesy, it is the condition of being allowed back.

Remote location catering — common questions

Yes — that is what the mobile kitchen is built for. It carries its own generators, LPG, charcoal, fresh water, refrigeration and waste containment, so it needs no mains hook-up, standpipe or venue kitchen. A level pitch the vehicles can reach is the requirement.
A two-day stills shoot for LW Production Services in the Brecon Beacons in August 2026 — day two at the Llyn y Fan Fach car park beneath the Black Mountain, around 250 road miles from our kitchen in Cornwall, feeding roughly 30–35 crew across breakfast, mid-morning, hot lunch, mid-afternoon and all-day hot drinks.
Any shoot within 300 road miles of our Redruth kitchen. That covers the whole South West and Wales including the Brecon Beacons, the South Coast and Sussex, Berkshire, Surrey, London and the Home Counties, and north to Birmingham and Leicester. Travel, and accommodation for multi-day shoots, is agreed in writing before you commit.
We pitch where the vehicles can reach and carry hot food the last stretch in insulated transit. Tell us the distance and the terrain when you send the call sheet and we plan the service timings around it, so the crew still eats hot at the break rather than whenever the food arrives.
Yes, always. On common land, in national parks and anywhere with free-roaming stock it is a condition of access rather than a nicety — sealed, removed, and nothing left at the location.
No. The Brecon Beacons shoot ran a full five-service day for around 35 crew — breakfast, mid-morning, hot lunch, mid-afternoon and all-day hot drinks — on both days. Difficult access changes the logistics, not the menu.
