Filming on location comes with unique challenges, and outdoor film shoots require a catering service that is flexible, efficient, and self sufficient. Whether you’re working on a TV drama, feature film, or commercial, keeping cast and crew well fed in an outdoor setting is essential for maintaining energy, morale, and productivity.
At Little Red Pizza Co., we specialise in on location catering for film and TV productions, ensuring that your crew gets hot, fresh food no matter the setting.
Why Outdoor Film Shoots & Productions Need Specialised Catering
Unlike studio productions, outdoor film shoots often take place in rural, remote, or unpredictable environments. This means catering must be:
✔ Completely Mobile – No access to kitchens? No problem. A fully self sufficient setup is essential.
✔ Weather Resistant – Capable of operating in wind, rain, or extreme temperatures.
✔ Fast & Efficient – Cast and crew need to be served quickly to keep filming on schedule.
✔ Dietary Friendly – Catering must provide a variety of options to accommodate vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, and other dietary needs.
The Best Catering Options for Outdoor Film Shoots
1. Wood-Fired Pizza – Hot, Fast & Easy to Serve
Wood-fired pizza is an ideal catering choice for outdoor film productions. It’s:
🔥 Quick to cook – Pizzas are ready in just a few minutes, keeping service fast.
🔥 Easily shareable – Crews can grab slices and eat on the go.
🔥 Customisable – Offers vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options.
At Little Red Pizza Co., we bring our mobile wood-fired ovens directly to your shoot, ensuring that your team gets fresh, hot pizza whenever they need it.
2. BBQ Catering – Hearty, Satisfying & Versatile
For crews needing something more filling, BBQ catering is a great choice. A mix of grilled meats, burgers, hotdogs, and plant-based options provides variety, making it suitable for long filming days.
We offer:
🔥 Gourmet burgers & hotdogs – Cooked fresh and served quickly.
🔥 Lamb koftas & grilled chicken – Packed with flavour and high in protein.

Buffet style catering works perfectly for outdoor shoots, allowing crew members to grab food as needed without waiting for individual orders. Our buffet service ensures:
