Film catering in Tenerife and the Canary Islands
A shoot has its own hours, its own timing and, more often than not, its own surprises. We’ve spent years working with film, television and commercial crews across the Canary Islands: serving breakfast before sunrise, feeding a full crew in the middle of a location, or rebuilding the service when the schedule changes.
What we do is easy to explain: be wherever the production is, work at its pace and make sure the crew eats well. There are enough things to worry about on a shoot already.
Formats
Every production works differently and the catering has to fit around it.
Productions running days, weeks or months, with large crews and long hours. We organise breakfasts, lunches, dinners and whatever else the shooting schedule calls for, taking into account times, locations, headcount and dietary needs.
Shorter shoots, usually very intense. Single-day or multi-day service, scaled to crew size, hours and the kind of location.
Television programmes, content, shoots and other formats. From small crews to larger productions, we plan the service around what each day actually needs.
When a crew is going to be shooting for weeks, variety matters. We build the menus for continuity, rotating dishes and sides so that eating from the catering every day doesn’t end up meaning eating the same thing every day.
How we work
Lunch isn’t always at two. And it isn’t always where it was meant to be. That’s why our service is built to adapt to the production, not the other way round.
For crews that start while it’s still dark.
Full, balanced menus meant to be followed by an afternoon of work.
For long days or productions on unusual schedules.
Vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free options, plus allergies and intolerances given advance notice.
The catering moves with the production, as far as the service logistics allow.
We plan kitchen production to reach service in the best possible condition.
The service structure scales to headcount and to what the production genuinely needs.
Menus planned for variety across the whole production.
Track record
We’ve been feeding commercial shoots since 2004 and film and series since 2007. Locations across the Canary Islands, with Spanish and international production companies.
What our history covers
Some titles already released
And many others still in production or under NDA.
Quote
Nothing needs to be locked down. A first estimate is enough for us to start planning the service and refine the quote as the production firms up.
Which days you need service, and an estimate if they’re still provisional.
Approximate number of covers per day.
Where you’ll be shooting, or at least which parts of Tenerife.
When you expect breakfast, lunch and dinner.
Breakfast, lunch, dinner, or a combination across the day.
A one-day commercial isn’t planned like a six-week shoot.
The more we know in advance, the better we organise each service.
Any production requirement we should know about before we start.
