'Merren Cove' — a German-language television film in the long-running Rosamunde Pilcher series, produced by FFP New Media for ZDF and filmed on location across Cornwall over 21 shoot days in April and May 2026. A Salt Wind Catering team was on set throughout, providing mobile on-location unit catering as the production moved between locations across the county — breakfast, lunch and all-day craft services for the daily crew and cast, with dietary lists managed end-to-end.
Salt Wind Catering is experienced in catering for German television productions filming in Cornwall — the early call times, remote locations, and dietary variety that come with an international cast and crew are standard work for us.
Read the full story: how we catered two Rosamunde Pilcher films across 14 Cornwall locations.
