About our film set catering in Heath End

How the day works
When we arrive, we park up on the agreed spot, set up and heat the fryers. Then everything is fried to order, timed around your shoot. Sunset in Heath End is about 8:55pm in late May, 9:25pm at midsummer and 7:10pm in late September; for dawn calls or late wraps, plan lighting at base.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for the crew.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
How to prepare
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Plan where the queue will stand

Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your crew instead.
