About our film set catering in Droxford
On a long shoot day, a good hot lunch keeps morale up. A fish and chip van parks at the unit base and fries to order. For seaside and period locations and commercials and music videos, we can cook mushy peas, haddock and chips and pie and chips.
Near Droxford, crews may be miles from anywhere to eat, so lunch at base matters. We keep the menu short: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.

How the day works
If the plan changes on the day, a quick word is all it takes: we can start a little later or slow the pace to suit your shoot. Long summer days in Droxford, with light until about 9:20pm, suit evening wraps outdoors, while by late September it is nearer 7:10pm.
- First, tell us about your shoot.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for the crew.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.
Before we arrive
