Cornwall's dramatic coastlines, wild moors, and picturesque villages make it one of the UK's most popular filming locations. But as any production manager knows, shooting here means facing serious logistical challenges—especially when it comes to feeding your crew.
Remote locations, narrow coastal paths, soft beaches, and unpredictable weather mean you can't just hire any caterer. You need a reliable, professional, and agile team that understands the demands of a Cornish film set.
Finding high-quality film catering in Cornwall is crucial. A well-fed crew is a happy, productive, and efficient crew. Here’s why a specialist, local caterer with the right setup is your most valuable asset on a shoot.
The Big Problem: Catering Trucks Can't Go Everywhere
The main challenge for on-location catering is access. Your perfect shot might be on a remote beach, halfway up a tor, or deep in ancient woodland. The last thing your crew wants is a 15-minute trek from the set to a catering truck parked half a mile away on the nearest hard-standing.
This is where a new approach to film catering is essential.
The Solution: A Fully Mobile Gazebo Kitchen
While many caterers are restricted by large, heavy catering vans that can't handle narrow lanes or soft ground, we operate from a fully-equipped, professional gazebo setup.
This is our superpower.
Our incredible mobility means we can go where others simply can't. We can set up a full, professional kitchen:
Directly on a remote beach
On a windy clifftop
In a muddy field
Deep in the woods
In a small courtyard
Within your unit base, even if space is tight
This allows us to serve hot, fresh food right where your crew is working, not back at the unit base. It saves time, boosts morale, and keeps your shooting schedule on track.
Why Our Local Expertise Matters
This on-the-go flexibility is combined with our deep local knowledge. As a Cornwall-based caterer, we understand the geography.
We know the routes, we know the local suppliers, and our entire operation is designed for Cornwall's challenging and beautiful locations. When a location changes at the last minute, or you need to move the unit base, our agile gazebo setup can be packed down and re-established in record time.
When you hire Salt Wind Catering, you get:
Unbeatable Access: We get our kitchen closer to your set than almost anyone else.
