Film set catering for your shoot in Bramshill
Locations and the production office can deal with us directly. Typical bookings include wrap celebrations and period dramas on location, serving haddock and chips, sausage and chips and pie and chips.
Rural locations near Bramshill can be a long way from food, so lunch at base matters. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your shoot, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.
Diets, allergies and planning
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. Our advice:
- Send allergies to us in writing
- Name a contact in the production office
- Flag any coeliac crew
- Arrange something for anyone with needs we can’t meet
Fewer choices mean faster service.
Pre-orders from the crew help on tight breaks.
Takeaway run or book a van?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your crew instead.
What happens on the day
Changes on the day are fine: we’ll adjust start times and pace to suit your shoot. In December, daylight in Bramshill ends around 3:55pm, so a late lunch or wrap at base needs lighting. Summer shoots have daylight until about 9:25pm.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks, and how it gets in.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
How to prepare
- Make sure the van can get in
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Plan where the queue will stand

These are the factors that matter most:

For planners, venues and organisers
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
Venues frequently have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Tell us what your venue needs and we will confirm what we can provide.
