How our film set catering works in Lewson Street
Locations and the production office can deal with us directly. Popular choices include sausage and chips, pie and chips and mushy peas, and we are regularly asked to cater location shoots and wrap celebrations.
Rural locations near Lewson Street can be a long way from food, so lunch at base matters. We serve from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and service is quick once we are up and running.
Is a fish and chip van right for your shoot?
Many locations are miles from shops. The van solves that. The cost per head normally falls as numbers rise, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
What you get with us
- A quote that spells everything out
- Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy on the side
- Nothing for you to cook or clear
- Fried fresh, not kept warm
Should I sort the food myself?
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We’re happy to send a quote so you can compare.
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
Nearly every event has some special diets. To look after them:
- Ask for dietary needs on the crew info form
- Confirm allergies by email
- Arrange something for anyone with needs we can’t meet
- Agree the waste plan with locations
Tell us if supporting artists are eating.
Cover near the hatch helps on wet days.
