Film set catering for your shoot in Meadle
Fried-to-order service suits a lunch break, without needing a kitchen on location. Popular choices include cod and chips, sausage and chips and pie and chips, and we are frequently booked for lunch at the unit base and treat days on a long shoot.
Rural locations near Meadle can be a long way from food, so a van at base is a big help. Everything is fried fresh at your shoot, not cooked earlier and kept warm, and handed over as soon as it’s ready.

Step by step
We work to your timings. If things run late, we hold off cooking until you are ready, so the food is still fresh when it’s served. On a winter shoot near Meadle, the light goes by about 3:55pm, so a late lunch or wrap at base needs lighting. In summer, light lasts until about 9:25pm.
- The production office sends us the location, dates, numbers and lunch time.
- You get an access check and a quote.
- We agree the van’s position and arrival with the location manager.
- We cook to order through the crew’s lunch break.
- We clear up and get out of the way.
