About our film set catering in Burmarsh
Schedules move, so give us a contact on the day and we’ll adjust where we can. For crew morale days and event crews, we can cook haddock and chips, mushy peas and pie and chips and more.
For a shoot in a place like Burmarsh, tracks and soft ground need checking with locations. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet.

Planning for dietary needs
Nearly every event has some special diets. To look after them:
- Give us a map or what3words for base
- Arrange something for anyone with needs we can’t meet
- Tell us about coeliac crew specifically
- Collect diets and allergies with crew details
We set up at the unit base ahead of lunch, out of the way.
A dining area at base helps.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the shoot.
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We are happy to send a quote so you can compare.
For event organisers in Burmarsh
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can hold the date.
Parks, greens and streets usually need permission for a catering van. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
How the day works
A typical booking goes like this: we arrive, park up and set up, the fryers heat up, and food goes out hot when you are ready to eat. In December, daylight in Burmarsh ends around 3:50pm, so the unit base needs lighting for late service. In summer, light lasts until about 9:15pm.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks, and how it gets in.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Preparing for the day
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
- Share the timings for the day
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
