What's your production catering experience?

Past credits across broadcast, streaming, brand and commercial work — see our productions hub for a representative list. We work to industry expectations on call times, turn-around, and unit moves.

How quickly can you mobilise for short-notice shoots?

For Cornwall-based units, 24–48 hours notice is workable for most spec. Stand-by and re-confirmed shoot dates need 5–7 days. Pre-production planning works best 2–4 weeks ahead so dietary, location and call-sheet specifics are agreed before shoot day.

What areas do you cover for unit base catering?

All of Cornwall and parts of Devon for productions over £1,500 per shoot day (free travel above; £1/mile R/T from Redruth below). Plymouth, Tavistock, Exeter and Dartmoor are regular shoot regions for us.

Crew fed properly, from call to wrap

Salt Wind Catering runs unit base catering for productions shooting in Cornwall — full crew feeding from breakfast call through to wrap. Hot lunches served from the truck, craft service kept rolling across the day, dietary lists handled across cast and crew. Self-contained mobile kitchen, NDA-aware, broadcast and commercial production experience.

We are the supplier you work with when you want one number for breakfast, lunch and craft — not three. The line producer sees an itemised quote (breakfast / lunch / craft), the locations manager hands us a pitch reference and a call sheet, the production coordinator gets the dietary list signed off in writing before shoot day. No surprises on the final invoice. No improvising at the truck on a wet morning.

See our film & TV catering hub for the broader production-catering offer, and our productions hub for past credits.

Crew Feeding

Breakfast · lunch · craft

Spec agreed in pre-production. Day-by-day flex on quantity and craft-service stock if shoot conditions shift.

Crew breakfast

from breakfast call

Bacon, sausage, hash brown, egg, beans, mushrooms, tomatoes, hot baps, fruit, yoghurt, hot bevs. Served from the truck or staged at the production office. Veggie and vegan covered as standard.

Hot lunch service

main + 2 sides + dessert

Two hot main options (one veg / vegan) plus salad bar, sides and dessert. Rotated daily across a multi-day shoot so the crew is not eating the same plate. Labelled for dietary and allergen requirements.

Craft service

rolling stock

Fruit, snacks, sweet & savoury, energy drinks, hot bevs kept topped up across the shoot day. Spec agreed in pre-production and adjusted by day if shoot conditions change.

Itemised quote structure — breakfast / lunch / craft costed separately so production can flex spec by day. Multi-day, stand-by and weekly contracts available.

Who we work with

Locations managers & UPMs

Single point of contact, one supplier for breakfast / lunch / craft, dietary list handled in writing, NDA signed at booking. Lower coordination overhead than three separate suppliers.

Production coordinators

Call-sheet integration, day-by-day spec adjustment, multi-day and stand-by rates clear from the quote. We work the way productions work.

Line producers

Transparent quote structure (breakfast / lunch / craft itemised), no hidden service charges, no per-head surprises on the final invoice.

Production companies

Past credits across broadcast, streaming, brand and commercial. References available under NDA on request.

How a production books us

Brief. Production gets in touch — shoot dates, call-sheet size, locations, dietary spec, expected lunch service window.
Recce (if needed). For tricky locations we attend the recce with locations / UPM and confirm pitch, access, and unit-base setup.
Quote. Itemised by breakfast / lunch / craft, day-by-day where spec varies. NDA signed at this stage if required.
Pre-production sign-off. Dietary list locked in writing. Final call-sheet headcount confirmed 48 hours before shoot day.
Shoot days. Breakfast from call. Hot lunch in service window. Craft topped up across the day. Quiet, on-time, on-spec.
Wrap & invoice. Pack-down on order. Single invoice with full daily breakdown attached. Net-30 on agreed production accounts.

Across Cornwall and into Devon

Based in Redruth, central to the whole of Cornwall. Productions regularly shoot on the north coast (Bedruthan, Padstow, Tintagel), the south (Falmouth, Penzance, Roseland), Bodmin Moor, and into Plymouth, Tavistock and Dartmoor.

Unit base catering FAQs

What does unit base catering cover?

Full crew feeding from breakfast call through to wrap. Hot lunches served from the truck to cast, crew, and production. Craft service kept stocked across the day — drinks, snacks, fruit, hot bevs. Dietary requirements handled across the call sheet, labelled clearly at the line.

How is unit base catering priced?

Quote-based, depending on call-sheet headcount, shoot length, location complexity, and craft-service spec. We quote breakfast / lunch / craft separately so the line producer can flex spec by day. Day-rate, multi-day, and weekly contracts available.

Are you self-contained at the unit base?

Yes — our mobile kitchen brings its own gas, water, fridges and serving setup. No mains power, no water supply, no kitchen required on location. We park where the locations manager tells us and run from there.

Do you cater on remote Cornish locations?

Yes — clifftops, beaches, moorland, working farms, private estates, harbour walls. We have catered at the kind of locations that productions choose Cornwall for. Vehicle access and pitch space are the two things we confirm at recce.

How do you handle dietary requirements across cast and crew?

Full dietary list collected at pre-production. Vegetarian and vegan are standard on every meal; gluten-free, dairy-free, halal, and specific named allergies handled per call sheet. Everything labelled at the line. Our kitchen handles gluten and nuts — for severe allergies we discuss exactly what we can guarantee.

Are you NDA-aware?

Yes — confidential locations, unpublished scripts and unannounced productions are routine for us. We are happy to sign production-level NDAs at booking. Crew at our service do not discuss what is shooting or what we have catered for.
