House of Vida: the Chef-Led Caterers Behind Film Sets, Private Events and a Kitchen on Wheels
Real chefs, real food cooked fresh, from on-set catering for cast and crew to canapés, private dining and a fully equipped food truck.
House of Vida Catering works to a simple promise: real chefs, real food, always fresh. It is a chef-led catering and events business that cooks everything from scratch, and it turns up in places most caterers never reach, from a film set at six in the morning to a garden party, a supper club or a private dining table.
On Set and On Time: Film and TV Catering
A good part of what House of Vida does is feeding cast and crew on film and television shoots. On-set catering is its own discipline: it has to be flexible, fast and reliable, ready to feed a hungry crew around a schedule that shifts all day, and it has to handle every dietary need on the call sheet without fuss. House of Vida builds its menus around exactly that, so the food keeps a production moving rather than holding it up.
Events Built Around the Food
Away from the set, House of Vida caters events of every size, from intimate private dining to larger celebrations. The menus are bespoke and the cooking is proper cheffing: canapés, fine dining, theme parties, supper clubs and hen and stag celebrations. The business looks after the planning as well as the plates, so the host can actually enjoy their own party. Its own view is that food should be more than fuel, it should inspire, energise and bring people together, and the menus are written with that in mind.
A Whole Kitchen on Wheels
The part that really sets House of Vida apart is its mobile kitchen, a fully equipped food truck it describes as a restaurant on wheels. It can cook fresh on site for 150 or more guests, with ovens, a gas hob, a chargrill, refrigeration and hot water all built in, which makes it ideal for pop-ups, brand activations, festivals and any location without a proper kitchen. Wherever the truck parks, the food is cooked right there, not reheated.
