Film set catering in Braishfield, cooked to order
Everything is cooked as crew come up, so lunch is hot and fresh. We serve sausage and chips, pie and chips and haddock and chips, and typical bookings are for crew morale days and wrap celebrations.
For a shoot in a place like Braishfield, tracks and soft ground need checking with locations. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your shoot, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.
Braishfield questions
How far is Braishfield from London?
Roughly 68 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Which station is closest to Braishfield?
The closest is Romsey station, roughly 2.4 miles away.
Can you feed visitors on set?
Yes, if they’re in your numbers. Tell us the day before.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Let us know about coeliac crew in advance, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible.
Do you have documents for productions?
Send us your supplier requirements.
Do you bring everything you need?
The van comes fully equipped to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.
How fast is service?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we’ll plan to keep the queue moving.
Do you take everything away?
We clear the van’s area after service. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.
Should I sort the food myself?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is normally the easier option.
Is a fish and chip van right for your shoot?
Many locations are miles from shops. The van solves that. Most vans have a minimum charge, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. Ask us what applies to your shoot.
