About our film set catering in Richmond upon Thames
The van needs level, firm ground at the unit base, and a route the van can manage. We’re frequently asked to cater period dramas on location and crew morale days, serving cod and chips, mushy peas and pie and chips.
In Richmond upon Thames, access to base can be tight, so send us the route and restrictions. The menu is short on purpose: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.

Rain doesn’t stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. Crew will appreciate cover near the hatch.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.
