Film set catering in Frensham, fried fresh
Call times change, so give us a contact on the day and we’ll adjust where we can. Whether it is crew lunches at base and fashion shoots on location, we can cook mushy peas, haddock and chips and sausage and chips.
Rural locations near Frensham can be a long way from food, so a van at base is a big help. We cook inside the van, right where your crew are, so the batter is still crisp when it is handed over.
Planning for dietary needs
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. Our advice:
- Plan an alternative for anyone we can’t cater for
- Plan bins and waste at base
- Confirm allergies by email
- Share the base location and route
We set up at the unit base ahead of lunch, out of the way.
End the shoot with a chip van wrap.

Should I sort the food myself?
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. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
