About our film set catering in Duns Tew
Food is fried to order, so it is hot when the break is called. Whether it is lunch at the unit base and treat days on a long shoot, we can cook mushy peas, cod and chips and haddock and chips and more.
Near Duns Tew, 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’s handed over.

- First, tell us about your shoot.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for the crew.
