About the food

Curry sauce

Space, access and the venue
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the spot and the way in before we confirm. Generally, we look for:
- A level, firm spot at the unit base
- A queue area clear of trucks
- Away from the shooting area’s sound
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
From the hatch
- Crew lunches
- Cod and chips
- Pie and chips
- Sausage and chips
- Haddock and chips
- Mushy peas
Working with your venue
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Staggering groups helps a lot.
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we will explain how it works. We’re happy to liaise with facilities on parking and timings.
How the day works
The first sign we’ve arrived is usually the smell, about the time the first crew wander across. After that, it is a steady flow to the hatch. On a winter shoot near Bagshot, the light goes by about 3:55pm, so the unit base needs lighting for late service. In summer, light lasts until about 9:25pm.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A photo of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for the crew.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Preparing for the day
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
Ask for a quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send us your details through our quote form. Give us the details of your shoot, and we will come back with availability and a quote.
