Planning questions · Sample menus · How it works
For a production inquiry, a useful brief includes where the crew will be working, how many people need food and the anticipated service windows. If there are multiple locations or different groups arriving at different times, set those out separately.
Carmelized Productions is based at a production kitchen in Inglewood. Its confirmed capabilities include full staffing, beverage service and rental coordination. Confirm any production-specific requirements, including credentials and service timing, directly with the team.
What to include in the inquiry
- Production company and coordinator
- Location or locations and access contact
- Crew and talent counts to be catered for
- Proposed meal windows and schedule changes to discuss
- Dietary needs, service scope and budget
The food and service
Clarify whether you need a crew meal, a specific talent meal or another service. Craft services, delivery arrangements, overnight work and short-notice availability all need direct confirmation.
Menus to discuss
Sample menus are a starting point. Confirm dishes and availability with the catering team.
Planning the next step
Include your estimated guest count and budget band. The Company field is optional. If the location is still undecided, enter “Not booked yet.” Read how the inquiry works and the common questions.

Film & production — planning questions
What information is useful for production catering?
Send the production dates, location or locations, crew count and anticipated meal windows. Identify the production contact and describe access, preparation space and any changes in headcount through the day.
Can you confirm recurring crew meals or craft services?
Ask the team to confirm the precise scope, frequency and service format for your production. Include whether you need scheduled meals, food between meals or multiple locations; a production inquiry does not establish availability for every service.
How should we share a changing production schedule?
Provide your current schedule and flag which dates, locations or meal windows may change. Include the best production contact and ask how updates should be communicated once the scope is agreed.
