Planners, venues and businesses
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will confirm what we can provide.
Parks, greens and streets generally need permission for a catering van. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
About our film set catering in Bray
Everything is cooked as crew come up, so it’s hot when the break is called. We are often asked to cater crew morale days and crew lunches at base, with pie and chips, mushy peas and haddock and chips.
Near Bray, crews may be miles from anywhere to eat, so a van at base is a big help. We cook inside the van, right where your crew are, so the batter is still crisp when it is handed over.

FAQs for Bray
Do you come out to small places like Bray?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Which station is closest to Bray?
Taplow station, about 1.3 miles north-east of the centre.
Can you serve children?
Of course. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Tell us how many are coming.
What about crew who do not eat fish?
Yes: sausages and pies, with chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.
What areas do you cover?
We cover London and the South East, including Windsor and Maidenhead. Find your area.
How fast is service?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Give us your numbers and service window, and we will plan to keep the queue moving.
What if lunch moves?
Schedules move, and we plan for it. Keep us updated and we will adapt.
Do you have allergen information?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Tell us about allergies in advance.
Looking after everyone
Allergies are taken seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Name a contact in the production office
- Agree how the base is left
- Put allergy details in writing
- Send the unit base address and directions
Supporting artists and visitors can be included in numbers.
A quick pre-order speeds things up.
The process
We arrive in good time before you want to eat, set up and bring the oil up to temperature. Crew typically gather round the hatch once service starts. Winter shoots near Bray chase the light, which goes at about 3:55pm in December, so lunch at base is often in daylight but a wrap meal is not.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- Show us where the van would go, and we’ll confirm it works.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Get permission for the van from the venue
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
How to get a price
We only need a few details to quote: date, address, numbers and serving time. You can send us your details through our quote form.
