Film set catering for Grange events
Step by step
The van turns up at the agreed time, pulls onto the spot you’ve chosen. When the fryers are up to heat, service starts right on schedule. In December, daylight in Grange ends around 3:50pm, so the unit base needs lighting for late service. Summer shoots have daylight until about 9:20pm.
- The production office sends us the location, dates, numbers and lunch time.
- We check access and send a quote.
- We arrange the van’s spot at the unit base with locations.
- We set up at the unit base and fry to order for the lunch break.
- We pack up straight after service and leave the base tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time

Film set catering for your shoot in Grange
We need a level, firm spot at base, and a route the van can manage. We are frequently asked to cater crew lunches at base and location shoots, with sausage and chips, mushy peas and cod and chips.
Rural locations near Grange can be a long way from food, so lunch at base matters. You’ll know what’s included before you book: the date, the service time and the menu.
Planners, venues and businesses
Venues frequently have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will work through them with you.

Mushy peas
Mushy peas are a must for plenty of fish and chip fans, and they’re on the menu.
What affects the price in Grange
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, because of:
- How easy the site is to reach
- How many people are eating
- Cod, haddock or both
- How far we travel
Most vans have a minimum charge, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. Ask us what applies to your shoot.
What to tell us
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- Where the van would park
- A photo of the space and the way in
- Roughly how many people, including children
- The date and when you’d like to eat
We only need a few details to quote: date, address, numbers and serving time. To send them, use our quote form.
