Film set catering in Filmore Hill, cooked to order
We work with your location manager or production office on access, parking and timings. We are often asked to cater crew treats on long shoot days and wrap parties, with sausage and chips, haddock and chips and cod and chips.
Near Filmore Hill, crews may be miles from anywhere to eat, so lunch at base matters. Your quote spells out what’s included: serving times, the menu and anything else agreed, with no surprises on the day.
Should I sort the food myself?
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your crew instead.
For event organisers in Filmore Hill
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll confirm what we can provide.

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
A full location catering unit suits long shoots with three meals a day. A van is great for short jobs and crew treats. Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so tell us exactly where your shoot is.

Planning the van’s spot
We will be honest if a spot will not work, and help find another. The main points are:
