Film & TV Crew Catering - Berkshire

Film & TV Crew Catering in Berkshire

Berkshire has become one of the busiest production counties in the country. Shinfield Studios near Reading opened in 2024 with 18 stages and close to a million square feet of space, and has already hosted the likes of Star Wars' The Acolyte and Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire. Up the road, Amazon's Bray Film Studios near Windsor is home to The Rings of Power, with Arborfield and the wider Creative Southeast cluster adding even more stage space.

Nomad Crew Catering feeds film and TV productions across Berkshire from first breakfast through to late breaks, whether you're on a sound stage, out on a Windsor estate, or on location in Reading, Newbury or Maidenhead. Our mobile kitchens and hot-box delivery keep your crew fed without slowing the schedule, and the M4 corridor puts most of the county within easy reach.

One call covers the lot: setup, service, unit moves, clear-down. You focus on the shoot.

Berkshire-specific advantages

Built for Berkshire
productions

Local knowledge that saves time on every Berkshire shoot - from sound stage to royal estate to countryside location.

M4 Corridor

The M4 from London through Reading to Newbury is our main artery, with the M3, M40 and A34 all close by. Most Berkshire locations are within straightforward reach from our bases.

No Clean Air Zone Charges

Unlike Bristol and London, Berkshire towns don't operate a Clean Air Zone - no additional daily vehicle charges when filming in Reading, Windsor or Newbury.

Shinfield, Bray and Arborfield sit within a few miles of each other. We know the access, the gate procedures and the unit base routine at the county's busiest stages.

Estate & Remote Location Experience

Windsor Great Park, the West Berkshire Downs, racecourse sites - we plan vehicle access routes before shoot day, with hot-box contingency for any point a mobile kitchen can't reach.
