With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. Our advice:

How our film set catering works in Little Chalfont
Fried-to-order service suits a lunch break, without needing a kitchen on location. Whether it’s live events and broadcasts and stills shoots, we’ll put together a menu of sausage and chips, haddock and chips and cod and chips and more.
Shoots around Little Chalfont often use houses, farms and lanes. Tell us about the route to base. Food is served straight from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and the queue keeps moving.

Other occasions in Little Chalfont
How the day works
The van turns up at the agreed time, parks where we agreed. When the fryers are up to heat, service starts right on schedule. In December, daylight in Little Chalfont ends around 3:55pm, so the unit base needs lighting for late service. In summer, light lasts until about 9:25pm.
- Tell us what you’re planning and when you’d like to eat.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks, and how it gets in.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
How to prepare
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Give us your final numbers and allergies

Planners, venues and businesses
Venues frequently have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will confirm what we can provide.
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan service to match. Sending people up in groups helps.
DIY versus a fish and chip 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 typically the easier option.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the shoot.
Before you choose a spot
We’ll agree the van’s spot with you before the day. It needs to tick a few simple boxes:

- Space in front of the hatch
- Lighting for early or late service
Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly.
