ABOUT HOT ROCKET
Hot Rocket is a chef-led production catering company providing on-location catering, hot box delivery, craft services and barista coffee for film, TV, commercial and media productions across London, Cambridge and the UK.
Built around restaurant-quality food, reliable service and a genuine understanding of production life, Hot Rocket combines bold flavours, high-quality ingredients and efficient catering designed for long shoot days, early call times and fast-moving sets.
From large-scale film productions and commercial shoots to studio catering and location-based crew feeding, we create food that keeps cast and crew fuelled throughout the day — without compromising on quality.
CHEF-LED CATERING
WITH PRODUCTION EXPERIENCE
With more than thirty years of experience working in Michelin-starred restaurants and deluxe hotels across eight different European countries, founder Andrew Taylor brings a restaurant background and ingredient-led approach to every production Hot Rocket caters for.
Andrew originally launched Brunch Box in 2020, serving high-quality breakfasts and speciality coffee to hungry truckers using fresh produce sourced from local farms and independent suppliers — a far cry from standard roadside catering.
In 2023, Hot Rocket was born.
Using the same ethos for fresh ingredients, bold flavours and genuinely great food, Hot Rocket evolved into a full production catering company serving film crews, TV productions, commercial shoots and media teams across the UK.
Today, Hot Rocket provides everything from breakfast, lunch and dinner service to craft catering, barista coffee and hot box delivery for productions of all sizes.
At Hot Rocket, we believe production catering should feel every bit as considered as restaurant food – generous, flavour-led and built around quality ingredients.
Whether catering for a large-scale film production, an advertising shoot or a smaller creative crew, we focus on creating food that feels fresh, satisfying and genuinely enjoyable to eat during long working days.
We work closely with trusted suppliers and independent producers wherever possible, sourcing ingredients with quality and flavour at the forefront.
From pork reared at Magness Farm near Saffron Walden, to chicken from Creedy Carver in Devon and carefully sourced British cheeses from producers including Keen’s Cheddar and Montgomery Creamery, great ingredients sit at the heart of everything we do.
Combined with chef-led menus and a flexible, experienced team, it’s this approach that has helped Hot Rocket become a trusted catering partner for productions across London and the UK.
OUR APPROACH
THE HOT ROCKET VIBE
Hot Rocket was built around the idea that production catering doesn’t have to feel generic.
We’re big on bold flavours, proper ingredients and food that people actually look forward to eating on set – whether that’s a big breakfast before first call, fresh pastries and barista coffee between setups, or hot dinners after a long shoot day.
While we take production logistics seriously, we also believe catering should bring a bit of energy and personality to the day. Expect restaurant-quality food, friendly faces, excellent coffee and menus designed to feel generous, comforting and full of flavour.
Served from our silver Airstream and vintage Ambulance coffee van, Hot Rocket combines chef-led food with a relaxed, creative approach that fits naturally into life on set.
BUILT FOR LIFE ON SET
We understand the pace, pressure and unpredictability of production schedules, which is why our catering services are designed specifically around the realities of life on set.
From early call times and changing locations to overnight shoots and multi-day productions, we provide reliable catering solutions that work seamlessly alongside production teams.
Our services include:
On-location catering from our silver Airstream
Barista coffee and craft services from our vintage Ambulance
In-house studio and kitchen catering
Hot Box catering delivery

Dietary-friendly catering options
Whether feeding a small creative team or a large production crew, we focus on delivering high-quality food with efficient, friendly service throughout the day.
