How our film set catering works in Eastergate
A van can get a crew fed quickly within the lunch break, with no kitchen needed on site. Whether it is outside broadcasts and wrap celebrations, we can cook pie and chips, cod and chips and mushy peas.
Near Eastergate, crews may be miles from anywhere to eat, so lunch at base matters. Food is served straight from the hatch, so it’s hot and generous, and the queue keeps moving.

Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.

FAQs for Eastergate
Do you come out to small places like Eastergate?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Can you serve near the sea around Eastergate?
Yes. The cooking is inside the van, so wind does not affect it, but the queue will want shelter.
How long are you on site?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
What if we only have street parking?
It depends on the road. A drive, car park or yard is generally easier; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
How fast is service?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Give us your numbers and service window, and we’ll plan to keep the queue moving.
Do you bring everything you need?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.
Which areas do you serve?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Eastergate.
Can the van park on grass?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and we will advise.
