Hot Box Catering for Remote Film Shoots 

October 12, 2024

If you are managing a film shoot, then it’s important to make sure that the whole team remains well-fed. The best food will ensure that your crew are in great spirits and will provide the high-quality results that you want. At Rhubarb Rhubarb, we provide professional catering services to film and TV productions across the UK. We can even offer a high-quality hot box catering solution. 

What is Hot Box Catering? 

Hotbox catering involves bringing piping hot food anywhere you need it. This means that your crew don’t have to travel back to the kitchen area to get their meals. Instead, we’ll bring the food directly to them, regardless of where you’re shooting or how far away from the main site you might be. 

The food is of the same high quality and can be delivered at the right temperature. As such, your crew will always get the best meals that they deserve when working on an intense shoot. 

Benefits of Hot Box Catering

There are lots of benefits of hot box catering for film crews. First, it means that you don’t have to worry about travelling back and forth during a remote shoot. Instead, you can remain in the same place and have your food brought straight to you. This will save you time and money, keeping your film production effective and efficient. This will be perfect if you’re filming high in the hills or deep in the forests of England. Rest assured, regardless of where your planned shoot is, we’ll still be able to deliver the meals straight into the hands of your crew. 

You could also be managing a semi-continuous production. As such, you may have no plans to return to base during the day. In cases like this, you still need to feed your team members. Hotbox catering provides you with the best option. 

Your team will also appreciate a hot meal. Particularly, if they are filming outdoors. It will fill their stomachs and ensure that they feel valued throughout your production. Particularly, if you choose our service that guarantees food that will tantalise your film crew’s taste buds.
