Manchester TV Location Catering for Happy Cast & Crew

A well-fed crew is a happy crew. Long shoot days, unpredictable weather, and tight schedules mean that TV Location Catering in Manchester plays a vital role in keeping productions on track. Whether it’s breakfast before call time, a hearty lunch mid-shoot, or a warm snack after wrap, the right catering service keeps cast and crew fuelled, focused, and in good spirits.

At Rhubarb Rhubarb Catering, we specialise in film location catering, delivering fresh, high-quality meals directly to set. With fully mobile kitchens, flexible service times, and a sharp focus on dietary inclusion, we make on-set meals effortless — wherever you’re filming.

Supporting Productions with Flexible, Reliable Catering

Film and TV shoots don’t follow the usual 9–5. Early starts, late finishes, and last-minute changes demand a catering partner that’s as adaptable as the schedule.

How we support productions in Manchester:

• Early breakfasts, rolling lunches, and late-night meal service
• Freshly cooked meals prepared on-site
• Fully mobile kitchens that travel to your shoot location

We keep things smooth, efficient, and well-fed — without ever disrupting production flow.

Keeping Crews Energised with Proper, Hot Food

Long hours on set mean one thing: the crew needs hot, satisfying meals to maintain energy and morale. A cold sandwich won’t cut it.

Some of our most requested meals:

• Comfort food classics – Stews, roast dinners, lasagne, and pasta bakes
• Global flavours – Curries, Asian fusion dishes, Mediterranean options
• Protein-focused plates – Grilled meats, plant-based proteins, hearty mains

Whatever the weather, our TV Location Catering in Manchester delivers meals that hit the spot.

Catering for All Diets and Preferences

Modern productions are diverse — and so are their crews. We don’t believe in one-size-fits-all menus. Every dish is designed with dietary needs in mind.

We offer:

• Vegan and plant-based meals that are creative and filling
• Gluten-free and allergy-conscious options prepared with care
• Customisable elements – build-your-own bowls, wrap stations, and flexible portions

No matter the requirement, everyone gets a meal they’ll actually enjoy.

Mobile Catering That Goes Wherever You Do

Manchester’s film and TV industry spans studios, urban streets, and remote rural sets. We bring the kitchen to you — no matter how challenging the location.

Our mobile catering includes:

• Fully equipped kitchens on wheels
• Weather-proof setups for outdoor or off-grid shoots
• Fast and efficient service to avoid long queues

Wherever your production is based, we ensure fresh, hot food on set — no compromises.

Boosting Morale with High-Quality Catering

Food on set isn’t just about nutrition. It’s about giving people a moment to recharge and reconnect. Good food creates good moods — and that drives better results.

What makes our catering stand out:

• Use of fresh, seasonal ingredients sourced locally where possible
• Varied menus with rotating dishes to keep things interesting
• Grab-and-go options for fast-moving days

We don’t just feed people. We give them something to look forward to.
