Film set catering for your shoot in Bradenham
Fried-to-order service suits a lunch break, with no kitchen needed on site. For ad shoots and shoots on location, we can cook mushy peas, haddock and chips and sausage and chips for your guests.
Near Bradenham, crews may be miles from anywhere to eat, so a van at base is a big help. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.

Common questions in Bradenham
Do you come to venues in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
How far is Bradenham from London?
About 33 miles from central London.
Do numbers include extras?
Yes, include them in numbers. Tell us the day before.
Can you park at the unit base?
Usually, if there’s level, firm ground. Locations will decide where.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we’ll plan to keep the queue moving.
What will the production need?
Send us your supplier requirements.
Is grass a problem?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and we’ll advise.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Not as standard: batter is usually made with wheat flour. Tell us about any coeliac crew and we’ll explain the options.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the shoot.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
