Ours is characterised by character, flexibility and enthusiasm. After all, every shoot has its own special features. We don’t do directing, camera work, sound or props. Our métier is creating dishes with a plot twist. We call this catering couture and have been doing it with great passion for many years. At Traiteur Wille, the art of fine cuisine is the star and film catering is a favourite role. This is where we can showcase what Hamburg and northern Germany have to offer in terms of cuisine, living and working in a metropolis that is home to an exciting variety of international flavours. A city with diverse filming locations and many culinary ideas. For us, film catering is a new and exciting project every time. And it always remains catering couture à la Traiteur Wille.
Since 1989, we at Traiteur Wille have been working for individuals and companies, supporting them with celebrations in Hamburg and throughout Germany. It all began at our premises in Winterhude. Today, we have a growing network of fantastic partners with whom we have organised many events and offer exciting event locations. You can also hire our own bistro for your celebration.
We are very flexible in this regard, as we have extensive experience with events of all types and sizes. Individuality is essential here. We are also flexible, as perfect timing is crucial in filmmaking. However, scheduling does not always work out, and some scenes take a little longer. To ensure that the catering is delivered on time, we discuss all the details and eventualities during the initial consultation. We then make an offer that suits the crew's wishes and the respective set. If desired, we visit the location chosen for the shoot together and discuss the procedures there. We can also help with a location. Because with our partners, we offer exciting exclusive locations. Not only in Hamburg, by the way.
You can order our catering services up to 48 hours before filming begins. However, due to high seasonal demand and special individual requests, we recommend that you discuss your desired film catering with us earlier.
Yes. Traiteur Wille offers fine cuisine for lovers of traditional dishes, regional and international gourmets, fish or meat lovers and, of course, for those who prefer vegetarian or vegan dishes. We are open to all culinary styles and want people to enjoy spending time together over a meal. Of course, we also cater to special requests in the kitchen, such as gluten or lactose intolerances.
Of course. Anything is possible. We deliver to the set, are happy to cook on site, and also organise press events and premiere parties. Upon request, our experienced staff will assist you in serving your guests on site.
Of course, we know that time on set is precious. But we also know that good catering is crucial. That’s why we don’t like to talk about catering for film crews, but rather about culinary ideas. The range is wide and many things are possible. Fish or meat, vegetarian or vegan. For eating together during breaks, buffets on set or refreshing snacks in between.
Take our delicious finger food, for example: saffron crêpes with Parma ham and rocket cream or quiche Lorraine with leek, ham and spicy sour cream. For those in the crew who prefer vegetarian options, we offer wholemeal hazelnut crêpes with Mediterranean mushroom filling or organic quark mousse with lemon, chervil and quinoa. We also offer many vegan alternatives, such as our truffled celery tart. These are just a few of our culinary creations. Fine food for all tastes and budgets. We love being part of the film-making process. It’s always a pleasure, especially when our catering ideas help to ensure that everyone on set is happy with what we’ve achieved together.
Film catering at Traiteur Wille is tailor-made. You discuss your requirements with us in advance. Regional, international, vegetarian, vegan, delivered or prepared on site. We then present our ideas and discuss all the details.
We are also happy to fulfil individual requests. Traiteur Wille arrives on time and stays as long as you wish. We understand that some events require discretion. We are as skilled at maintaining confidentiality as we are at the art of cooking. We look forward to receiving your enquiry.
As a Hamburg-based caterer for film and television productions, we also have a large network of great partners and fine locations in the city. Perfectly suited for small and large groups of people and various events. From press screenings with finger food to phenomenal premiere parties with culinary highlights. And it goes without saying that these locations are also wonderful places to film.
At Traiteur Wille, we only use regional products of organic quality. This is an approach that has a long tradition with us. We know our suppliers and the producers of our fresh products and enjoy working with them. Because we share their belief that quality is not only something you can taste, but also something you should support through the work that goes into it. Sustainable business practices and fine dining go hand in hand. This is an attitude that has connected us with our customers and partners for many years.
