Film set catering in Deepcut, cooked to order
A van can get a crew fed quickly within the lunch break, without needing a kitchen on location. Popular choices include haddock and chips, cod and chips and pie and chips, and we are regularly asked to cater treat days on a long shoot and outside broadcasts.
Shoots around Deepcut frequently use houses, farms and lanes. Tell us about the route to base. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer.
Planning for dietary needs
Allergies are taken seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Plan an alternative for anyone we can’t cater for
- Ask for dietary needs on the crew info form
- Update numbers if they change
- Confirm allergies by email
Tell us if supporting artists are eating.
Cover near the hatch helps on wet days.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Wrap parties add up. A van keeps it relaxed and simple. The cost per head typically falls as numbers rise, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
What you get with us
- Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy on the side
- We cover Deepcut and the whole of Surrey
- Nothing for you to cook or clear
- Cod, haddock, sausages and pies

About the food
Cod and chips
For many people, cod and chips is the definitive version. Fried to order in the van, it is hot, crisp and generous.
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips covers anyone who doesn’t want fish, and it’s a favourite with children.
