Film set catering for your shoot in Foots Cray

We work with your location manager or production office on access, parking and timings. Whether it’s seaside and period locations and unit base lunches, we’ll put together a menu of mushy peas, haddock and chips and pie and chips and more.

London locations around Foots Cray can have tight access, so send us the route and restrictions. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet

Some locations have nowhere to buy food. The van solves that. Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so it helps to give us the postcode.

About the food

Curry sauce

Curry sauce divides opinion, so we bring it along.

Cod and chips

For many people, cod and chips is the definitive version. Cooked fresh at the hatch, it is hot, crisp and generous.

How the day works

It is a relaxed, well-organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, park on the agreed spot, and cook and serve without fuss. In December, daylight in Foots Cray ends around 3:55pm, so the unit base needs lighting for late service. Summer shoots have daylight until about 9:20pm.

Feeding a crowd from a food van

Organising for someone else?

For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can hold the date.

For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Sending people up in groups helps.

Looking after everyone

With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. We suggest:

Put allergy details in writing
Confirm numbers the day before
Ensure we can reach locations on the day
Share the base location and route

Tell us if supporting artists are eating.

Pre-orders from the crew help on tight breaks.

Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:

Travel, tolls and road charges
Cod, haddock or both
Peak dates such as summer Saturdays

Most vans have a minimum charge, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. We’ll tell you up front.

A photo of the space and the way in

Cannot we just order from the chip shop?

You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.

Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is typically simpler.
