Film set catering in Aston, cooked to order
Everything is cooked as crew come up, so it’s hot when the break is called. Popular choices include mushy peas, sausage and chips and haddock and chips, and we’re often booked for location shoots and treat days on a long shoot.
Near Aston, crews may be miles from anywhere to eat, so a van at base is a big help. Food is served straight from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and the queue keeps moving.

Common questions in Aston
Could you trade in Fawley Court and Temple Island?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council. Check with them first.
Do you come out to small places like Aston?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
What can crew choose from?
The classics: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.
Can you adjust to schedule changes?
Schedules move, and we plan for it. A contact on the day is all we need.
Do we need to provide anything?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Mention any power or water available and we will take it from there.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and we will advise.
When do you arrive?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. We will agree arrival and serving times with you.
Where can the van park?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, close to where people will eat, with room for a queue at the hatch. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
The process
Nothing is cooked before it’s needed. Fish is battered and fried when people come up to the hatch, so it is as fresh as from any chip shop. In December, daylight in Aston ends around 3:55pm, so the unit base needs lighting for late service. In summer, light lasts until about 9:25pm.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
- We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we’re done.
Getting ready for the day
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
