About our film set catering in Nutbourne
The van needs level, firm ground at the unit base, and a route the van can manage. Popular choices include mushy peas, sausage and chips and pie and chips, and we’re often booked for ad shoots and lunch at the unit base.
For a shoot in a place like Nutbourne, tracks and soft ground need checking with locations. We bring the van and everything we need to cook, and we leave the pitch tidy when we go.

Questions from Nutbourne
How far is Nutbourne from London?
Roughly 57 miles from the centre of London.
What’s the nearest station to Nutbourne?
Nutbourne has its own station: Nutbourne station.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes, always. We fry to order in the van at your venue, then handed over hot from the hatch.
What do we need to supply?
Let us know about power and water at the site in your enquiry, and we’ll confirm what we need.
What if the weather’s bad?
The weather doesn’t stop the van, because the fryers are inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
Do you have documents for productions?
Tell us what the production needs and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
How much space do you need?
Less than you might think: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, with a clear way in. If in doubt, send a photo.
How long does set-up take?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
How it works
We need a level, firm place to park the van, close to where people will eat, and we agree exactly where before the day. On a winter shoot near Nutbourne, the light goes by about 4:00pm, so a late lunch or wrap at base needs lighting. Summer shoots have daylight until about 9:20pm.
- Tell us what you are planning and when you’d like to eat.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance, and how it gets in.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
How to prepare
- Plan where the queue will stand
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Clear the route for the van
