Film set catering in Lashenden, cooked to order
We work with your location manager or production office on access, parking and timings. Typical bookings include live events and broadcasts and seaside shoots, with sausage and chips, pie and chips and haddock and chips.
Near Lashenden, check tracks and ground for the van with locations. Food is served straight from the hatch, so it is hot and generous, and service is quick once we are up and running.
About the food
Curry sauce
Chip-shop curry sauce is a mild, slightly sweet British classic, great with chips and sausages.
Mushy peas
No fish and chips is complete without mushy peas for many people, and they’re on the menu.
For event organisers in Lashenden
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
If you’re booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we’ll explain how it works. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
What happens on the day
We need a level, firm place to park the van, close to where people will eat, which we agree with you beforehand. In December, daylight in Lashenden ends around 3:50pm, so a late lunch or wrap at base needs lighting. Summer shoots have daylight until about 9:15pm.
- Contact us with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for the crew.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Preparing for the day
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Make sure the van can get in

Takeaway run or book a van?
For a small group, making your own food can work. 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. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
