What is the nickname for the buffet or food spread for the cast and crew on movie sets?

Answer 1

Craft service or Craft services refer to snack food served buffet style on a film or television set. It originally referred to janitorial and other services for the various crafts (i.e., the cast and the rest of the crew) on film, television or video production and is still used that way.

Originally food set out on a "craft service table" or "craft service cart" was for the craft service workers. Often the same company that provides catering also provides the food for the craft service table and this may be why the food is also eaten by cast and crew. "Craft service table" was misinterpreted as a table provided by craft service leading to the belief that craft service is the provider of food. Likely adding to the confusion is that often the same company provides both catering and janitorial services.
