Catering & On-Set Services

Production catering in China draws on one of the world's deepest food traditions. Our caterers work across the country's eight major regional cuisines to keep crews well fed on hard shooting days. We run hot service at the China Film Group base in Huairou, Hengdian World Studios' thirty-plus permanent sets in Zhejiang, the Wanda Oriental Movie Metropolis in Qingdao, and the Shanghai Film Studio compounds in Songjiang. Meals run from breakfast through wrap time, built around Beijing roast duck, Cantonese dim sum, Sichuan dishes adjusted for foreign palates, Shanghainese dumplings, and the lighter Hangzhou and Suzhou cooking that local crews expect during long studio days.

Halal provisions are standard for shoots in Xi'an, Lanzhou, and any production drawing on the Hui community. Our kitchens hold the food-safety credentials that Hengdian studio managers demand, along with those set by the health bureaus that inspect shoot sites in Beijing's Chaoyang district and Shanghai's Pudong.

Our process starts with a crew headcount, schedule, and dietary survey. From there we develop menus with kitchens skilled in feeding crews from forty to four hundred per meal. Mobile catering rigs reach the karst hills around Yangshuo on the Li River, the Avatar-floated peaks of Zhangjiajie, the Mogao Cave routes outside Dunhuang, and the Tang Dynasty backlots inside Hengdian, where studio kitchens cannot scale to a full crew.

On the ground, the picture is more specific. Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, and allergen-flagged options run alongside the main service. Hot-water craft tables meet the expectation Chinese crews bring to set, while Western breakfast and snack ranges cover the global cast. Service flexes around Chinese New Year and National Day Golden Week shutdowns, weather shifts through Beijing's winter haze season, and the long single-shift days that Wandering Earth-scale features demand from their craft teams.
