Catering Services
On-set catering built for Iceland's extreme conditions — warming Icelandic lamb, fresh Atlantic seafood, and robust meals for glacier and highland shoots.
Film catering in Iceland must contend with some of the most challenging production environments in the world — glaciers, volcanic highlands, fierce winds, and limited infrastructure far from Reykjavik. Icelandic cuisine draws on quality local ingredients including Atlantic cod and haddock, free-range Icelandic lamb, skyr, and geothermally-baked rye bread. Our caterers combine these traditional elements with international cuisine to satisfy the predominantly foreign crews that shoot in Iceland for its otherworldly landscapes.
NeedAFixer connects you with experienced Icelandic film caterers who have served productions from Game of Thrones to Interstellar and Prometheus. Our catering network includes providers who specialise in remote highland catering, glacier-adjacent meal service, and the particular logistical challenges of feeding crews in locations where the nearest town may be hours away.

Why Choose Our Catering Services
Icelandic Ingredients, International Menus
Our caterers use Iceland's exceptional local ingredients — lamb, fresh-caught Atlantic fish, skyr, and volcanic spring water — alongside international options. Menus balance hearty Icelandic fare with familiar dishes for the international crews that dominate Icelandic productions.
Extreme Remote Location Catering
From glacier shoots at Vatnajökull to highland F-road locations and black sand beaches, our caterers deploy fully self-contained mobile kitchens to Iceland's most remote filming sites. Complete independence from local infrastructure is standard.
International Crew Dietary Needs
Icelandic productions are almost exclusively staffed by international crews. Our caterers accommodate vegetarian, vegan, halal, kosher, gluten-free, and allergy-specific requirements with sourcing that accounts for Iceland's limited import supply chain.
Arctic Weather Catering Expertise
Extreme cold, high winds, and rapidly changing weather are normal on Icelandic shoots. Our caterers provide heated dining shelters, insulated food transport, continuous hot beverage service, and high-calorie menus designed for physically demanding outdoor conditions.
Catering Expertise
What catering services do you provide in Iceland?
We provide complete on-set catering including hot breakfast, lunch, and dinner, continuous craft services, and second meals for overtime. Our caterers serve productions in Greater Reykjavik, along the South Coast, in the highlands, and at locations across the country.
Can you accommodate dietary restrictions?
Yes. Icelandic productions rely heavily on imported crew. We accommodate vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, halal, kosher, and allergy-specific requirements. Some specialty ingredients require advance planning due to Iceland's import logistics.
Can you cater at glacier and highland locations?
Yes. Our caterers are experienced with the extreme logistics of glacier-adjacent and highland interior shoots. We deploy self-contained catering units accessible by super jeep or helicopter, with independent power, water, and heated dining facilities.
What's included in craft services?
Craft services includes continuous availability of hot beverages, Icelandic skyr and dairy products, snacks, dried fish, fresh fruit, and quick energy foods throughout the shooting day. Hot soup stations are standard on cold-weather shoots.
How do you manage 24-hour daylight summer shoots?
Iceland's midnight sun enables very long shooting days. Our caterers adapt to flexible meal schedules, maintaining continuous craft services and providing meals at whatever hours the production requires, including late-night and early-morning service.
What about sustainable catering?
We offer sustainable catering prioritising Icelandic-sourced ingredients, minimal packaging, and strict leave-no-trace practices essential for Iceland's fragile environments. Our caterers follow environmental protocols required for filming in protected areas.
