About our film set catering in Turnfurlong
Food is fried to order, so lunch is hot and fresh. Typical bookings include treat days on a long shoot and period dramas on location, serving cod and chips, mushy peas and sausage and chips.
For a location shoot near Turnfurlong, base might be in a field or farmyard, so ground conditions matter. We cook inside the van, right where your crew are, so the batter is still crisp when it’s handed over.

Common questions in Turnfurlong
Which station is closest to Turnfurlong?
The closest is Aylesbury station, roughly 0.8 miles away.
Can the van go to venues in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We’ll follow the site rules.
Where can the van park?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, near your crew, with room for a queue at the hatch. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
What if we only have street parking?
That depends on local parking rules. A drive, car park or yard is generally easier; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
Do you bring everything you need?
The van comes fully equipped to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.
How do you handle allergies?
Let us know about allergies in advance, and we’ll give you the allergen information.
How fast is service?
Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. We’ll talk it through when we quote.
Who clears up?
We clear the van’s area after service. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.
About the food
