Food that works around production.
External production catering prepared from our permanent kitchen and delivered ready to serve — individually boxed, hotboxed and delivered hot, for crews of ten to five hundred, anywhere the shoot goes.

The Root2Shoot Approach
Good food fuels great stories. Our service is built around the rhythm of film and television production, from early call times to location moves and long days.
01
Vegan, gluten-free, halal and allergy requirements are catered for thoughtfully, without creating a "special plate". Everyone eats well, together.
02
Every package includes hotboxing and disposables. It is a complete price, so you know exactly what is included.
03
Food is prepared at our permanent kitchen, hotboxed and delivered ready to serve.
Three Chapters We Cook By
Great food is about more than what's on the plate. It's about people, the planet and a smoother, brighter future for the industry we love.
Every peel, stem and crust has a second act. Surplus can become staff meals, trimmings become stocks, and what remains feeds compost and food-rescue routes where practical.
A crew that eats well shoots well. We build catering around production reality: early call times, night shoots and last-minute location moves.
Root2Shoot aims to employ, train and mentor people from our neighbourhood. Every catering contract helps create opportunities, support future apprenticeships and build a more inclusive, sustainable industry.

Sustainability in Everything We Do
Kaytie and Kev build sustainability into menu planning from the start. The carbon impact of food is considered before the menu is created, alongside sourcing, seasonality, packaging, transport, food waste and the wider catering operation.
Food
Seasonal sourcing, plant-forward thinking, sensible purchasing and thoughtful menu design.
Waste
Repurposing, food-rescue partnerships, composting and practical waste reduction.
Locally Sourced
We work with local growers and trusted suppliers to bring you the best quality ingredients where practical.
Service
Permanent kitchen preparation, hotboxes, reusable kits and compostable serviceware.
BAFTA ALBERT Principles
Our approach follows the principles of BAFTA ALBERT and the wider sustainability direction of the film and television industry.
