Production catering services
What we provide on a shoot
Costed per day, per head, against the shooting schedule — with the same standard on day one and day thirty.
Unit catering
Hot breakfast, main meal and second meal service for full crew, run to the call sheet and adjusted daily as numbers move.
Craft service
Continuous tea, coffee, fruit and snack provision at unit base, maintained through the day without needing to be asked.
Remote & regional locations
Self-sufficient set-up for locations without power, water or sealed access, planned from the recce and the location scout’s notes.
Dietary management
A full dietary matrix maintained across the shoot, with every requirement served as a proper meal on the same service line.
Talent & VIP requirements
Separate provision for cast, producers and visiting executives where the schedule or the contract calls for it, handled without comment.
Wrap & special functions
Wrap parties, cast dinners and production milestones catered by the team that already knows the unit.
A shooting day
Our clock is the call sheet.
Indicative service for a 6am crew call on location. If the schedule moves, we move with it — that is the entire point.
04:15
Kitchen open
Our crew on site well before yours. Generators up, cold chain verified, breakfast service built.
05:30
Breakfast
Hot breakfast and coffee running before crew call, so the unit starts the day fed rather than hoping for craft.
06:00
Crew call
Craft service established at unit base and maintained continuously from this point.
12:30
Main meal
Full service opening before the break is called. Line cleared inside the break, not across it.
17:30
Second meal
Hot second meal where the schedule runs long, planned in advance rather than improvised at the six-hour mark.
Wrap
Clear and reset
Unit base left clean, waste removed, and the next day’s counts confirmed with the production office before we leave.
Why productions use us
We understand what a lost hour costs.
Catering is one of the few departments that can slow an entire unit down. We plan for that responsibility: contingency in every count, redundancy in equipment, and crew who have worked enough shoots to read a day before it goes wrong.
Logistics and ComplianceSelf-sufficient for power, water and refrigeration on remote locations
Insurance certificates, food safety documentation and deal memos supplied at contracting
Daily headcount reconciliation for the production accountant
Crew accustomed to set protocol, radio discipline and quiet operation near camera
Waste management and location reinstatement handled to permit conditions
Menu variation planned across long schedules so the unit does not eat the same week twice
Common questions
Production catering questions
How many crew can you cater for?
We regularly cater unit sizes from a small commercial crew up to [000] on a feature or series. Numbers change during a shoot and we plan for that — final counts are taken the afternoon before, and we carry contingency rather than running short at lunch.
Can you cater remote and regional Western Australian locations?
Yes. We work across regional WA including the South West, Goldfields, Pilbara and Kimberley. For locations without power, water or vehicle access we bring self-sufficient set-up: generators, water, refrigeration and waste management, planned against the location scout and the recce notes.
How do you handle dietary requirements across a full unit?
We take the dietary matrix from the production office at prep and maintain it as crew changes. Every requirement is a proper meal on the same line, clearly labelled, not a container set aside at the end. Allergen protocols are briefed to our crew daily.
What are your turnaround times for meal breaks?
We build service so a full unit clears the line inside the break, not at the end of it. Practically, that means the line opens before the break is called, with enough service points that nobody spends their half hour queueing.
How does invoicing work with a production office?
We invoice the production entity on agreed terms, with purchase order references, itemised daily counts and per-day breakdowns that reconcile against the production accountant’s cost report. Deal memos and insurance certificates are provided at contracting.
