How our film set catering works in Lawrence Hill
On a long shoot day, a good hot lunch keeps morale up. We park at the unit base and cook to order. Popular choices include pie and chips, haddock and chips and cod and chips, and we’re often booked for wrap parties and crew treats on long shoot days.
For a location shoot near Lawrence Hill, base might be in a field or farmyard. Everything is fried fresh at your shoot, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet.

Which station is closest to Lawrence Hill?
Bracknell station, about 1.2 miles south-west of the centre.
Do we need to provide equipment?
Everything is cooked in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site and we will confirm what we need.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Of course. Children usually love sausage and chips. Tell us how many are coming.
Do you have allergen information?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Tell us about allergies in advance.

When do you arrive?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
What if we only have street parking?
It depends on the road. Off-road parking is normally simpler; if it has to be the street, check with the council.

Takeaway run or book a van?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is generally the easier option.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
