Film set catering for The Warren events
About the food
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it is the favourite in much of the south. We batter it and fry it to order, so it’s crisp when it reaches you.
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are a must for plenty of fish and chip fans.
About our film set catering in The Warren
The van needs level, firm ground at the unit base, and a clear route in. We’re often asked to cater music video shoots and lunch at the unit base, serving cod and chips, pie and chips and mushy peas.
Shoots around The Warren frequently use houses, farms and lanes. Tell us about the route to base. We keep the menu short: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.

Why us?
- Fried fresh, not kept warm
- Classic food your crew already know

If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.

The Warren: your questions answered
Is The Warren close to London?
About 28 miles from central London.
What’s the nearest station to The Warren?
The Warren has its own station: Martins Heron station.
How fast is service?
Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. We’ll talk it through when we quote.
What does it cost to hire the van?
It depends on numbers, the menu, how long we serve and travel. Tell us about your shoot and we will send a quote.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Not as standard: batter is usually made with wheat flour. Tell us about any coeliac crew and we will explain the options before booking.
Can you cater for allergies?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Tell us about allergies in advance.
What does the van need?
Not much: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, with a clear way in. If in doubt, send a picture.
Can the van park on grass?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and send a picture if you can.
How it works
We get there well before service, park the van and get the fryers going. Crew normally gather round the hatch as soon as we open. On a winter shoot near The Warren, the light goes by about 3:55pm, so a late lunch or wrap at base needs lighting. In summer, light lasts until about 9:25pm.
- We start with a few details about your shoot.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- We cook to order on the day for the crew.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Keep space clear for crew at the hatch
- Make sure the van can get in

Should I sort the food myself?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.

- How many people are eating
