Film & TV Production Catering Support
Behind the Scenes: Film & TV Production Fridge Hire in the North West
The North West has become a global hub for film and television production. Specifically, locations from the streets of Manchester to the rugged peaks of the Lake District host major crews year-round. However, location catering for hundreds of cast and crew members requires robust, mobile infrastructure. Consequently, film set fridge hire is an essential service for production managers who need to keep the “unit base” running smoothly.
Supporting the North West’s Creative Industry
Frostbite Refrigeration provides the flexible, heavy-duty cooling required for long filming days. In fact, we support production companies across the region with high-capacity fridge and freezer trailers. We deliver units to remote locations and city-centre sets alike. Because we cover the North West in total, we can react to changing production schedules and move equipment between locations quickly. Furthermore, our trailers provide a reliable 13m³ hub for craft services and location caterers.
Why Production Managers Choose Mobile Trailer Hire
- Handle Remote Location Logistics: Sets are often far from permanent kitchens. As a result, our trailers provide a self-contained cold store that works anywhere a generator can reach.
- Maintain High-Volume Craft Services: Keeping a crew fed and hydrated is vital for morale. Specifically, our units hold huge volumes of chilled water, fresh snacks, and meal ingredients at Food Standards Agency (FSA) approved temperatures.
- Freezer Capacity for All Seasons: We also hire freezers for ice and frozen stock. Therefore, you can manage ice for drinks in the summer or frozen prep for hot meals in the winter within the same dual-setup.
- Discreet and Reliable Operation: Our modern trailers are finished in clean white and run quietly. In addition, they integrate seamlessly with standard 13-amp or 16-amp production power grids.
Logistics for Your Next Shoot
We recommend booking your units as soon as the location is scouted to ensure availability. For instance, having the trailer on-site before the “unit move” begins ensures the catering team can start prep immediately.
