About our film set catering in Grove Hill
Shoot days are long, and a hot lunch on time matters. We park at the unit base and cook to order. On the menu are sausage and chips, cod and chips and pie and chips, and we are regularly asked to cater unit base lunches and outside broadcasts.
Near Grove Hill, crews may be miles from anywhere to eat, so a van at base is a big help. We keep the menu short: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.

Common questions in Grove Hill
Is Grove Hill close to London?
Roughly 44 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Can the van go to venues in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We will work to whatever the site needs.
Do you have allergen information?
Tell us about allergies when you book, and we’ll tell you what’s in each item.
What do you bring?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.
Can you feed supporting artists too?
Yes, include them in numbers. Confirm numbers the day before.
What if lunch moves?
Schedules move, and we plan for it. A contact on the day is all we need.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
Frequently, if the ground is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
Can the van park on the street?
That depends on local parking rules. A drive, car park or yard is generally easier; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
Organising for someone else?
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.
For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can hold the date.
Should I sort the food myself?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
Allergies and dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs and allergies early, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible. To make it work smoothly:
- Update numbers if they change
- Confirm allergies by email
- Add an allergy question to crew forms
- Have a back-up for special diets
We take our used oil and waste with us.
Pre-orders from the crew help on tight breaks.
