The Smell That Stops a Studio

There's a moment on every film set we've catered where the same thing happens. The batter hits the hot griddle, the butter sizzles, and — regardless of what's happening with the shoot — heads start turning. The smell of a fresh crepe is one of the most effective crowd-pullers we know.

Over seven years, Eden Crepes has catered at film and TV events across the UK — from Leavesden and Shepperton Studios to productions in Bristol and Cardiff. We've learned what productions need: speed, reliability, dietary flexibility, and food that genuinely excites people at the end of a long day.

The BBC iPlayer Wrap Party

Wrap parties are one of the most rewarding events to cater. The mood is celebratory, people are genuinely hungry, and there's a real sense of occasion. When we catered a recent BBC iPlayer wrap party, the queue barely stopped moving from the moment we opened service.

Why a Crepe Stall Works on Set

Film productions are a unique catering challenge. Space is limited, schedules are tight, crew have high expectations. A mobile crepe stall addresses all three: compact setup, fast service, and a menu that genuinely excites people who've seen every catering option imaginable.

Our savoury galettes — The Parisian and The Florentino in particular — tend to be popular with crews at wrap events, while the sweet options come into their own as the evening goes on. We also offer a full cocktail and drinks menu on request.

"Happy Wrap Days — Love, Cromwell"

We didn't expect the chalkboard to read "Happy Wrap Days — Love, Cromwell." But when Mark Rylance, playing Thomas Cromwell in the BBC's Wolf Hall: The Mirror and the Light, walked over to our trailer in full period costume and picked up a crepe, we knew this was going to be memorable.

The production wrapped at a stunning historic location — a medieval manor house surrounded by bare winter trees. Our green trailer was parked on the gravel drive, the savoury menu chalked up, and the griddles hot.

The Setting

Crew members in modern kit moved between cast in Tudor costume. The contrast was striking, and our green trailer sat somewhere between the two worlds. The Florentino proved popular with the crew — spinach, fried egg and mature cheddar — while Lemon and Sugar was the sweet standout as the evening wound down.

What Made It Special

Film productions are long and intense. The wrap is a genuine moment of release, and having something delicious waiting makes a real difference. Mark Rylance stopping to eat a crepe in full Tudor costume — cheerfully holding court in front of our trailer — was a moment that captured everything we love about this work.

A Record-Breaking Day

1,100 crepes. 5 events. 3 teams. Not a bad Pancake Day for Eden Crepes 2024. Thanks to all the events that invited us, and a huge congrats to the team for making it a success.

Pancake Day has become one of our busiest days of the year. Schools, universities, corporate offices, and private parties all want to mark the occasion — and increasingly they're choosing a live creperie rather than the traditional kitchen chaos.

How It Works

For Pancake Day bookings, we deploy multiple teams simultaneously across our coverage areas. Each team arrives with a fully self-contained setup — griddles, gas, batter, toppings, and everything needed to serve efficiently in any space, indoors or out.

The key to serving 1,100 crepes in a day is prep and rhythm. Our crepiers have each made thousands of crepes — the motion is second nature. On a busy event, we can turn out a crepe every 90 seconds per griddle, with multiple griddles running simultaneously.

Book for Pancake Day 2026 & 2027

Pancake Day 2026 falls on Tuesday 17 February, and Pancake Day 2027 on Tuesday 9 March. Bookings fill quickly — particularly for corporate and school events in London and the South West. If you want Pancake Day to feel special, now is the time to secure your date.

Oxford's Commemoration Balls

Oxford's Commemoration Balls — held annually at colleges across the university — are among the most prestigious student events in the UK. Guests arrive in black tie, the venues are spectacular, and the catering has to match.

"Eden Crepes provided a great service for Wadham College Commemoration Ball, Oxford. Guests loved the variety of crepes on offer and the team were efficient, friendly and helpful. Have no hesitation in recommending this service for any further events." — Matt J, Wadham College

What Made It Work

University ball catering has specific requirements. Timing is everything — guests arrive in waves between performances, so the stall needs to handle sudden surges. Our team managed the flow smoothly throughout, with no long waits even at peak periods.

The savoury menu led early service well — The Spaniard and The Englishman were both popular. The sweet options came into their own in the later hours, with Lemon and Sugar the clear standout.

Two Somerset Institutions

Thatchers Cider has operated from Myrtle Farm in Sandford for over 120 years — one of the most iconic names in Somerset. When they needed catering for their event, they chose Eden Crepes. It felt like a natural pairing: two businesses rooted in tradition, quality, and a genuine love of what they do.

The Event

Our green trailer was set up on-site for the Thatchers event, serving both sweet and savoury crepes to guests throughout the day. The Somerset countryside setting — the golden light, the open fields — is exactly the kind of backdrop that suits our creperie.

The Parisian was an early savoury favourite, while Lemon and Sugar and Runny Honey were the sweet options that went down best in the sunshine.

Drayton House

Drayton House in Northamptonshire is one of England's most extraordinary private estates — a medieval house that has been in continuous occupation for over 700 years. The family who own and live at Drayton House held their wedding there, and chose Eden Crepes to be part of the day.

The estate featured prominently in the 2023 film Saltburn, but for those who know it, Drayton House needs no introduction. It is simply one of the most beautiful and historically significant private houses in England.

The Wedding

We set up our stall in the walled gardens of the estate for the wedding reception. The stone walls, the immaculate lawns, the sense of deep history — it is the kind of venue that makes every detail feel more significant.

Our savoury menu was popular early in the evening. The Caprese — sundried tomatoes, pesto and mozzarella — worked particularly well with the warm summer atmosphere, while Lemon and Sugar and Runny Honey were the most-requested sweet options as the evening drew on.

Weddings at Historic Venues

We cater regularly at historic houses, estate venues and country properties across the UK. Our self-contained setup means we can operate anywhere on an estate, without requiring mains power. If you're planning a wedding at a historic venue, we'd love to hear from you.
