How our film set catering works in Hattingley
Fried-to-order service suits a lunch break, without needing a kitchen on location. On the menu are sausage and chips, haddock and chips and mushy peas, and typical bookings are for music video shoots and crew lunches at base.
Rural locations near Hattingley can be a long way from food, so lunch at base matters. We bring the van and everything we need to cook, and we leave the pitch tidy when we go.

Common questions in Hattingley
Do you come out to small places like Hattingley?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Is Hattingley close to London?
Roughly 50 miles from the centre of London.
What does the van need?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, near your crew, with room for a queue at the hatch. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
Is there something for children?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Let us know numbers, and we will plan for them.
What will the production need?
Every production asks for different things, so ask your production office for the list.
Do you need power or water?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Mention any power or water available and we will take it from there.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. Bins for crew are worth planning.
Is grass a problem?
Frequently, if the ground is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. 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.
