About our film set catering in Millbridge
On a long shoot day, a good hot lunch keeps morale up. We park at the unit base and cook to order. We serve cod and chips, sausage and chips and pie and chips, and we are frequently booked for period dramas on location and event crews.
Near Millbridge, check tracks and ground for the van. Your quote spells out what’s included: serving times, the menu and anything else agreed.
For planners, venues and organisers
Parks, greens and streets normally need permission for a catering van. Ask the council or landowner early.
For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can hold the date.
Looking after everyone
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Name a contact in the production office
- Arrange something for anyone with needs we cannot meet
- Plan bins and waste at base
- Put allergy details in writing
Fewer choices mean faster service in a lunch break.
A gazebo by the van keeps the line dry.

FAQs for Millbridge
Is Millbridge close to London?
About 37 miles from central London.
Can the van park in Underdown nature reserve?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Where does the van go on location?
Normally, with a level spot. We will agree the spot with your location manager.
Is grass a problem?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and we will advise.
Is the food cooked at the event?
It is. We cook inside the van, so it’s fried on the spot, rather than made in advance.
Can the van come to our wrap?
Yes, and crews love it. Tell us the details.
How long will the queue be?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Give us your numbers and service window, and we will plan to keep the queue moving.
Is there a non-fish option?
Yes: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.
What comes out of the fryer
Pie and chips
A pie and chips is proper comfort food, and it is especially welcome on a cold day.
Sausage and chips
For anyone who does not fancy fish, there is sausage and chips, and it’s a favourite with children.
