Film set catering in Little Horwood, cooked to order
We cater location shoots, unit bases, commercials, music videos and wrap parties. We are frequently asked to cater wrap celebrations and live events and broadcasts, serving cod and chips, sausage and chips and mushy peas.
Near Little Horwood, crews may be miles from anywhere to eat, so a van at base is a big help. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your shoot, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.

Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is usually the easier option.

Food your guests will love
Haddock and chips

Pie and chips
A pie and chips is proper comfort food, and it’s a favourite in colder months.

Looking after everyone
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. Our advice:
- Add an allergy question to crew forms
- Plan an alternative for anyone we cannot cater for
- Tell us about coeliac crew specifically
- Confirm numbers the day before
We take our used oil and waste with us.
A gazebo by the van keeps the line dry.
