Film set catering for your shoot in Little London
On a long shoot day, a good hot lunch keeps morale up. We park at the unit base and cook to order. For wrap celebrations and seaside shoots, we’ll put together a menu of sausage and chips, mushy peas and pie and chips and more.
Near Little London, crews may be miles from anywhere to eat, so lunch at base matters. You will know what’s included before you book: the date, the service time and the menu, with no surprises on the day.
Planners, venues and businesses
For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can hold the date.
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.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Many locations are miles from shops. A van brings lunch to base. When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: service time, menu, travel, any minimum and VAT. We set ours out clearly.
What you get with us
- Bookings across Surrey, including Little London
- Served hot, straight from the hatch
- Rain doesn’t stop the fryers
- Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy on the side

What a fish and chip van costs
The same numbers can mean different prices, because of:
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- How many people are eating
- Your choice of menu
Got a budget? Let us know, and we’ll suggest how to make it work. Keeping the menu short is usually the best value.
What to tell us
To check availability and price, we need:
- A picture of where the van would go
- Where you’d like the van to go
- Your date and serving time
- Rough numbers for adults and children
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: the parking spot, access, numbers and serving time. A picture of the spot helps too. When you’re ready, use our quote form.
How it works
Because we cook inside the van, rain doesn’t stop us. It’s worth thinking about cover for the queue, though. Winter shoots near Little London chase the light, which goes at about 3:55pm in December.
- The production office sends us the location, dates, numbers and lunch time.
- We check the route and the unit base and send a price.
- We agree the van’s position and arrival with the location manager.
- We set up at the unit base and fry to order for the lunch break.
- We clear up and get out of the way.
Preparing for the day
- Name one person we can call on the day
- Keep space clear for crew at the hatch
- Tell us when you want to eat
Ask for a quote
We quote for each event separately, so the price fits what you actually need. For a quote, send us your details through our quote form.
Planning help
Takeaway run or book a van?
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We are happy to send a quote so you can compare.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is generally simpler.
Diets, allergies and planning
A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Try these:
- Confirm allergies by email
- Update numbers if they change
- Ask for dietary needs on the crew info form
- Name a contact in the production office
We work to the lunch time on the call sheet, with a contact for changes.
Cover near the hatch helps on wet days.

Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.

Do you take everything away?
