Film set catering in Northington, fried fresh
Fried-to-order service suits a lunch break, without needing a kitchen on location. Typical bookings include location shoots and crew lunches at base, with haddock and chips, sausage and chips and mushy peas.
Near Northington, crews may be miles from anywhere to eat, so a van at base is a big help. We bring the van and everything we need to cook, and we leave the pitch tidy when we go.

- A level, firm spot at the unit base
- The location’s agreement
- A clear route to base
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.

How it works
We do not cook ahead. Each portion is battered and fried as it is ordered, which is why it tastes like it does at the seaside. Sunset in Northington is about 8:55pm in late May, 9:25pm at midsummer and 7:10pm in late September; for early or late service, base needs lighting.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A photo of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for the crew.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Getting ready for the day
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Name one person we can call on the day
- Get permission for the van from the venue
Ask for a quote
Send us the date, the address or SO24 postcode and rough numbers, along with your serving time, and we’ll reply with a quote. Just fill in our quote form.
