Rumbly Tummy? Food At Galleon Studios
Catering options at the Manchester Studio
An army marches on its stomach and a fed crew is a happy crew. Galleon Studios has its own fully functional kitchen with oven, fridge and microwave where food can be prepared on-site but in addition to this, we are pleased to offer the following options for your shoot.

Rated 5 star “excellent” in hygiene is the amazing Gaynor’s Food Van, people who hire the studio sing its praises and so do we. They recommend the steak sandwiches but we’re fond of the Tuna Salad, or the Ham. Quick, close and cheap Gaynor’s food van has the following menu

Bobs Biltong
A stone’s throw away from the studio is the famous Bobs Biltong (we’re not kidding people travel from all over the country to buy food there). As well as being an authentic South African Shop it contains a cafe to chill out in the downtime at lunch. The cafe serves such delicacies as Boerewors, Biltong and tasty chilli sticks as well as genuine snacks and drinks from the Rainbow Nation. It’s not unuusal for clients to become regular customers of Bob’s and we’ll often see hirers pop back to pay Bob a visit.


I need coffee... Now!
Sometimes only a Costa will do. And there’s one 5 minutes drive from Galleon’s Manchester Studio. Fed up of Costa? Then try something different and go to Starbucks a mere 10 minutes away. There you can get… well, you know. Different coffee and sub-par Tea.

Great time at Galleon Studios, we were kind of winging it shooting for an interactive game and the support given was invaluable, most importantly - there’s also sweets. Recommended. Krishna Stott30 May 2024Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had a great experience filming at Galleon - from preproduction with us asking a million questions and getting very helpful responses - to the actual shoot which went smoothly - in particular I was impressed with the kit that was available and the guys at Galleon's willingness to help and support what we were aiming to get... looking forward to our next shoot there tbh...! adam padley24 March 2024Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Worked with galleon for many years, Kris and Les always bring great knowledge and professionalism. It's a great space to film or record podcasts and always a pleasure Feral Wolf Productions19 March 2024Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Galleon Studios was an amazing place to be; Kris and Les, the owners, are truly exceptional individuals – knowledgeable, humorous, and, most importantly, highly professional. I highly recommend that both production teams and clients explore these hidden gems to have an extraordinary experience. rachael woods29 February 2024Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Kris and Les came highly recommended by many, and I can see why! Incredibly helpful guys with fantastic facilities in a great location. We're looking forward to coming back. Louise Jones28 February 2024Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. From the initial contact and array of questions I needed to throw at Kris and Les ahead of the shoot right through to the shoot days, Kris and Les were so thorough and helpful which was a huge, huge piece of mind. Even advising on a great caterer! On the shoot days, we couldn't have asked for more support, expertise and knowledge. Galleon made the whole process so easy and professional, I will not look anywhere else! For reference, I utilised the smaller green screen studio for the adding in of digital backdrops, dressing areas for the actors, autocue and operator, single camera and operator and even ended up using some of Galleon's props and make-up (thank you!!). Thank you, Team Galleon! *bows down in awe and thanks* "I'll be back"
