How our film set catering works in Egham Hythe

Near Egham Hythe, base may be a field or yard, so ground conditions matter. Food is served straight from the hatch, so it is hot and generous, and the queue keeps moving.

Should I sort the food myself?
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We are happy to send a quote so you can compare.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
How we price a fish and chip van for the crew
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, because of:
- Cod, haddock or both
- How many people are eating
- The day of the week
- Any minimum charge
Distance and any road charges make a difference, so tell us exactly where your shoot is.
What we need to know
When you get in touch, it helps to tell us:
- The date and time of the event
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- Anything awkward about the way in
- A picture of the space and the way in
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many people, along with your serving time, and you will get a clear price. Just fill in our quote form.
Planners, venues and businesses
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Sending people up in groups helps.
