Film set catering for your shoot in Tingrith
On a long shoot day, a good hot lunch keeps morale up. We park at the unit base and cook to order. On the menu are sausage and chips, haddock and chips and pie and chips, and we’re often booked for seaside and period locations and treat days on a long shoot.
For a shoot in a place like Tingrith, tracks and soft ground need checking with locations. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, not cooked earlier and kept warm.

Allergies and dietary needs
Most events have a few crew with dietary needs. To look after them:
- Arrange something for anyone with needs we cannot meet
- Agree the waste plan with locations
- Share the base location and route
- Give us a contact for call-time changes
After service, we pack up and get out of the way.
A gazebo by the van keeps the line dry.
How it works
There’s very little for you to do on the day: show us the spot, tell us when to start, and enjoy your shoot. We handle the cooking and serving. On a winter shoot near Tingrith, the light goes by about 3:50pm, so a late lunch or wrap at base needs lighting. In summer, light lasts until about 9:25pm.
- First, tell us about your shoot.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- We cook to order on the day for the crew.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.
Before we arrive
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
- Plan where the queue will stand
