How our film set catering works in Nashes Green
We need a level, firm spot at base, and a route the van can manage. Popular choices include haddock and chips, mushy peas and sausage and chips, and typical bookings are for stills shoots and wrap celebrations.
Rural locations near Nashes Green can be a long way from food, so lunch at base matters. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
A full location catering unit suits long shoots with three meals a day. A van is great for short jobs and crew treats. Most vans have a minimum charge, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. Ask us what applies to your shoot.

Diets, allergies and planning

We set up at the unit base ahead of lunch, out of the way.
Pre-orders from the crew help on tight breaks.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
How it works
Changes on the day are fine: we can start a little later or slow the pace. Winter shoots near Nashes Green chase the light, which goes at about 4:00pm in December, so lunch at base is frequently in daylight but a wrap meal is not.
- It starts with the unit base, dates and numbers.
- We check access and send a quote.
- We arrange the van’s spot at the unit base with locations.
- We cook to order through the crew’s lunch break.
- We clear up and get out of the way.
Getting ready for the day
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
