Film set catering in Odiham
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is normally the easier option.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.

Before you choose a spot

- Lighting for early or late service
- Room for the crew to queue
- Clear of the shot and sound
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.

Planning for dietary needs
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. Our advice:

- Plan bins and waste at base
- Ensure we can reach locations on the day
- Confirm numbers the day before
Fewer choices mean faster service.
Bins at base keep the location clean.

A closer look at the menu
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it’s the favourite in much of the south. We batter it and fry it to order.
Haddock and chips
Haddock has loyal fans: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.
