Film set catering in Binscombe, fried fresh
Schedules move, so a contact on the day helps and we will adjust where we can. For fashion shoots on location and music video shoots, we can cook cod and chips, mushy peas and pie and chips and more.
Rural locations near Binscombe can be a long way from food, so lunch at base matters. We cook inside the van, right where your crew are, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.
Should I sort the food myself?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
Diets, allergies and planning
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Tell us about coeliac crew specifically
- Agree the waste plan with locations
- Add an allergy question to crew forms
- Have a back-up for special diets
Fewer choices mean faster service.

- You get an access check and a quote.
- We arrange the van’s spot at the unit base with locations.
