Film set catering for your shoot in Tuesley
We cater location shoots, unit bases, commercials, music videos and wrap parties. We’re frequently asked to cater location filming and seaside shoots, with pie and chips, haddock and chips and sausage and chips.
Near Tuesley, crews may be miles from anywhere to eat, so lunch at base matters. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we will be straight with you about what we can do before you book.
Planners, venues and businesses
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan service to match. Sending people up in groups helps.
Looking after everyone
Most events have a few crew with dietary needs. To look after them:
- Give us a map or what3words for base
- Send final numbers the day before
- Plan bins and waste at base
- Flag any coeliac crew
We take our used oil and waste with us.
A dining area at base helps.
A fish and chip van or other catering?
A full location catering unit suits long shoots with three meals a day. A chip van suits short shoots and treat days. Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is often good value, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. Ask us for a quote.

Common questions in Tuesley
Is Tuesley close to London?
About 32 miles from central London.
Do you come to venues in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We’ll follow the site rules.
What paperwork do you provide?
Tell us what the production needs and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
Can the van come to base?
Normally, if there is level, firm ground. We will agree the spot with your location manager.
How long does set-up take?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
What do we need to supply?
Tell us what’s available at the site when you enquire, and we will say what we need.
Can the van park on grass?
Normally, if it is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes, always. Everything is fried fresh in the van, then handed over hot from the hatch.
Should I sort the food myself?
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 cooks in front of your crew instead.
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.
