    Sustainable Catering on Film Sets: Our Approach

    Kieron Hackwith 5 min read25 February 2026
    Sustainability is not a marketing line for us. It is a practice embedded in how we source, prepare, and serve food on every production. The film industry is becoming increasingly conscious of its environmental impact, and catering is one area where meaningful changes can be made without compromising quality.

    Seasonal Sourcing & Foraging

    Our menus are built around what is in season. This is not just better for the environment. It produces better food. Seasonal produce is fresher and more flavourful. When the season allows, we forage for wild ingredients to bring unique, natural flavours to our dishes. It is this connection to the land and the seasons that sets our food apart.

    Minimising Food Waste

    Food waste is one of the biggest environmental challenges in catering. We tackle it through careful portion planning based on accurate crew numbers, creative use of ingredients across multiple dishes, and a commitment to preparing food fresh on-site rather than over-ordering pre-made options. What little waste remains is handled responsibly.

    Compostable Packaging

    All of our packaging is compostable and recyclable. From takeaway containers for grab-and-go options to napkins and cups, nothing we use ends up in landfill if disposed of correctly. This is standard across all three of our services: studio, location, and hotbox.

    Plant-Forward Menus

    While we cater for all dietary preferences, we actively champion plant-based options on every menu. Our vegan and vegetarian dishes are not concessions. They are highlights. By making plant-forward options genuinely appealing, we naturally reduce the overall environmental footprint of each service without imposing choices on anyone.

    Where we cater sustainably

    Sourcing close to the shoot is a large part of how we keep the footprint down, so where a production sits matters. Our kitchen is in Maidenhead, which makes catering for film and movie sets in Berkshire a local job with the shortest supply run we have, covering Bray, Shinfield, Arborfield, Windsor and Ascot. Just over the county line we serve film shoot catering in Buckinghamshire, from Pinewood at Iver Heath out to Chiltern locations. Each area page sets out the studios, travel windows and service options for that patch.

    An Ongoing Commitment

    Sustainability is a journey, not a destination. We are continuously looking for ways to reduce our impact, from exploring electric vehicle options for our fleet to partnering with suppliers who share our values.
