Film set catering in Deddington, fried fresh
We work with your location manager or production office on access, parking and timings. For crew morale days and seaside shoots, we will put together a menu of pie and chips, mushy peas and sausage and chips and more.
For a shoot in a place like Deddington, 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.

Should I sort the food myself?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
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.
