Film & TV Crew Catering - Hampshire

Feeding Hampshire's
Production Crews

Hampshire is one of the UK's most varied filming counties. Country estate drama at Highclere Castle, studio work at Black Hanger and Farnborough International, naval period pieces at Portsmouth Historic Dockyard, wildlife and landscape shoots across the New Forest - and that's before Winchester's medieval streets and Southampton's docklands get booked out.

Nomad Crew Catering serves film and TV productions across Hampshire from first breakfast through to late breaks, whether you're in a studio, on a country estate, or out on location. Our mobile kitchens and hot-box delivery keep your crew fed without slowing the schedule - and our M3 and M27 corridor coverage means we're rarely far away.

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

Hampshire-specific advantages

Built for Hampshire
productions

Local knowledge that saves time on every Hampshire shoot - from studio to country estate to coastal location.

M3 & M27 Corridor

The M3 from London to Southampton and the M27 east-west across the south coast are our main arteries. Most Hampshire locations are within straightforward reach from our bases.

No Clean Air Zone Charges

Unlike Bristol and London, Hampshire cities don't operate a Clean Air Zone - no additional daily vehicle charges when filming in Winchester, Southampton or Portsmouth.

Estate & Remote Location Experience

Highclere, New Forest, South Downs - we plan vehicle access routes before shoot day, with hot-box contingency for any point a mobile kitchen can't reach.

Isle of Wight Coordination

If your production crosses the Solent, we plan catering logistics around your ferry schedule so there's no service gap on either side of the crossing. Talk to us early.

Hampshire production FAQs

Your questions,
answered

The questions production managers and line producers usually ask before booking a Hampshire shoot.

Do you cater at Highclere Castle?
Yes. Country estate shoots typically run long days across remote grounds - our mobile kitchens travel to the site and we use hot-box delivery to manage service across multiple points. Get in touch early so we can plan vehicle access around the estate's requirements.
Do you serve productions at Black Hanger Studios in Farnborough?
Yes - we provide full on-site catering at Black Hanger. Setup, service and clear-down fitted to your call sheet, from first breakfast through to whatever the shoot demands.
Which parts of Hampshire do you cover?
The full county - Winchester, Southampton, Portsmouth, Basingstoke, Farnborough, Alton, Andover, Romsey, the New Forest and everywhere between. We also coordinate catering for shoots crossing to the Isle of Wight.
How quickly can you be on a Hampshire location?
Most of Hampshire is reachable via the M3 or M27. We'll confirm lead times when you send us the callsheet location, but for studio work at Black Hanger or Farnborough we can have a full breakfast service up and running from an early morning setup.
Do you cater for New Forest shoots - remote or off-road locations?
Yes. Remote location catering is one of our core capabilities. We plan vehicle access routes in advance, carry hot-box kit for any point a mobile kitchen can't reach, and confirm all logistics before shoot day so nothing surprises you on the morning.
