"We recently used Stage 3 Catering for a week on location just outside of Liverpool in October/November 2017. Leaving a great impression on both cast & crew, their food was fresh, tasty and offered plenty of variety daily, as well as catering for those with special dietary requirements without losing quality. The catering team were friendly and helpful, and offered a great all-round service. We would definitely use Stage 3 for future projects."

Vaibhav Gupta, Line Producer @ Gold, Movies & More

"Landing in UK from India to shoot such a big film like GOLD, I was nervous about a lot of things as a Line Producer on the job! There was so much to look into and this of course included on-set catering for the crew. We have had a good trial session with Jo's catering company (Stage 3) a few days prior to start of shoot but then on-shoot is always a different ball game. But thanks Jo for being the way you are and handling it so smoothly and effortlessly. The food was always good, fresh and tasty; crew really liked it! Your team always delivered on time, such a plus for a film unit! And the warm loving personality you have, it just helps ease your day :) Thanks for looking after all of us while we were in UK for the past three months. Whenever I'm coming back to UK for another shoot, I know I've one less department to worry about. Lots of love! Take care :)"

Guerilla - Fifty Fathoms @ Dot Kyle

"I had the pleasure of having Jo and her team cater for the remaining portion of Block 1 on Guerrilla. Jo and her team were able to take on the demands of the job professionally and with the greatest of enthusiasm. We did numerous running lunches as the shoot was all location based. Jo was receptive of any feedback and was able to meet the various dietary requirements of crew and cast. I would have no hesitation in hiring Jo and her team again and look forward to the next job where I can do so."

Matt Cleary Head of Production @ Emmerdale, Leeds, UK

"Stage 3 Catering provided catering services to ITV Studios' production, Emmerdale, in early 2015. We had previously worked Jo Durant during her involvement and employment with another catering supplied

Our working relationship with Jo Durant and Stage 3 was always incredibly professional and during the time she was involved with Emmerdale we were very happy with the food and service provided

Emmerdale is a complex production with multiple units, working a variable shcedule across various location. Stage 3 were always quick to respond to schedule changes and the team had a great awareness of our business needs. The food quality was consistently high and invoicing was accurate and timely.

I have no hesitation in recommending Stage 3 based on my experience of working with both Jo and hethe team."

Katie Bleakley - Production Manager

"I would not hesitate in recommending Jo and her team at Stage 3 catering for any contract. I employed Stage 3 Catering on a 7 week feature shoot 'Gods Own Country' and they coped amazingly well in the trying conditions that are encountered when filming on the Yorkshire moors in the winter months.

Stage 3 also joined us on a 3 month children's TV drama for the BBC. The meals provided were consistently excellent. There is always a good variety of hot and cold healthy options. The staff were hard-working, helpful and friendly. which is exactly what we needed working such long hours. I would without a doubt recommend them to any production in the future and will happily employ Stage 3 for any future projects."
