Film set catering in Egham, fried fresh
We need a level, firm spot at base, and a clear route in. Whether it’s treat days on a long shoot and ad shoots, we’ll put together a menu of pie and chips, cod and chips and mushy peas for your guests.

Other occasions in Egham
Takeaway run or book a van?
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the shoot.

The right spot keeps everyone safe and the service smooth. We need:
- Level, firm ground at base
- Room for the crew to queue

If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.
Popular choices

Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. Our advice:
