Food shoots
- Up to 100 guests
- 3-hour minimum
Food photography and video studio in Scarborough
Two kitchens of its own, so the food is cooked on site instead of carried in.
The room
Cook and shoot in the same place
A presentation kitchen and a separate prep kitchen, with the appliances and prep space a food shoot needs.
Sets on the same floor
The bar and the open floor take tabletop sets. Black walls give a dark, clean backdrop.
Setting up
Ways to lay it out
- Prep in the back kitchen, style and shoot at the presentation bar
- Build a tabletop set on the open floor against a black wall
- Open the garage doors for natural light on hero shots
- Book the room for a full day rather than a few hours for recipe-heavy shoots

Questions
Is there a kitchen?
There are two: a presentation kitchen, and a prep kitchen separate from the event space — with high-quality appliances, ample prep space and the essentials.
How much does it cost to rent Half Note for a food shoot?
The room is priced hourly for the whole 2,900 sq ft floor, and the rate depends on the day and the time of day. Send your date, rough headcount and the hours you need, and we will come back with a quote.
Is there a minimum booking?
Yes — 3 hours. Longer bookings work out better per hour, so tell us the full span you need when you enquire.
How do we get equipment in?
Two garage doors open straight onto the floor, so gear, furniture and decor can be loaded in directly.
Is there WiFi?
Yes, throughout the building.
