About Us
At Flying Trestles, our mission is to nourish the people behind events - delivering thoughtful, reliable catering that supports long days, creative work, and live productions across the UK and internationally.
Who We Are
Flying Trestles Catering specialises in crew and artist catering, backstage, location and tour requirements for the festival, music, film & TV industries. We bring our high quality, delicious, nutritious food combined with great vibes to festivals and worldwide music tours, locations and stand alone shows. Whether it is feeding the masses on site, providing dressing room riders or cooking for high profile artists, we deliver it all with friendly, welcoming professionalism and slick logistics.
Founded in 2021, Anna and Phil started the Flying Trestles UK journey. Since then the adventure has taken us all over the country, enjoying many of the UK’s high profile festivals and travelling as far as New Zealand with music tours and films.
WITH OVER 30 YEARS OF EXPERIENCE
With more than three decades of experience in the catering and events industry, Flying Trestles has developed the knowledge and expertise to deliver reliable, professional service in any location. Whether managing tight schedules, large-scale productions, or remote locations, our team ensures seamless execution every time. We have worked on everything from small crew operations to major festivals and tour and TV/film productions, earning a reputation for quality, consistency, and professionalism.
HOW WE WORK
We understand that events are fast-paced, complex operations. Flying Trestles adapts to tight schedules, fluctuating crew numbers, and last-minute changes with ease. Our experienced team handles all logistics, ensuring food is punctual and served to schedule. From setup to service and cleanup, we focus on reliability, professionalism, and delivering great food. Which in turn elevates the dynamic and energy on site, uniting teams and boosting productivity.
OUR FOOD PHILOSOPHY
Our menus are built around fresh, seasonal, and nutritious ingredients that keep teams energised and satisfied throughout the day. We welcome and celebrate healthy eating and lifestyle choices, ensuring we incorporate these concepts into our menus, to provide choice and to suit all crew needs. We pride ourselves on our ever evolving menus, with our chefs constantly creating new ideas and dishes, so our catering is always new and exciting. We balance hearty meals with lighter options, snacks, and refreshments, including barista coffee, teas, fresh-pressed juices, iced flavoured water, and fresh fruit. Every meal is crafted to support focus, stamina, and wellbeing, no matter how long the day.
OUR TEAM
Our crew is experienced, friendly, and professional, bringing a positive and hospitable presence to every event. We value building strong relationships with clients and crews alike, bringing a personable approach to every job, ensuring a smooth, enjoyable, and engaging catering experience.

WHAT PEOPLE SAY
SPIKE, WE OUT HERE
Absolutely top drawer, this is a fully committed team who provide the very best in their field, you won't leave either hungry or amazed at the quality of food and service, cheerfully and lovingly served by people who obviously love what they do
CHLOE, LEEDS FESTIVAL
This has been by far the best catering company who have served Leeds fest, they always accommodated for my allergies (gluten free/coeliac.) And took an extra step by making it completely separate so there was no risk of contamination.
