Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Long shoots usually need a full catering unit. A van is great for short jobs and crew treats. The cost per head usually falls as numbers rise, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Give us your numbers and we will quote.

What happens on the day
A typical booking goes like this: the van arrives and we set up, the oil comes up to temperature, and food goes out hot at the agreed time. On a winter shoot near Tyringham, the light goes by about 3:55pm, so the unit base needs lighting for late service. In summer, light lasts until about 9:25pm.

- We agree the van’s position and arrival with the location manager.
- We cook to order through the crew’s lunch break.

Location catering around Tyringham
Tyringham is about 2 miles north of Newport Pagnell, in Milton Keynes. Across the MK16 area, we can bring the van to you. Tyringham is one of 73 places in Milton Keynes where we bring the van.
Within reach of Tyringham are historic houses such as Linford Manor (3 miles south). Period locations like these normally keep vehicles well away from the house, so agree the base early. For cast and crew travelling by train, the nearest station is Wolverton station, about 4.2 miles south-west.
For shoots in MK16, we just need to know where the van can park and roughly how many crew.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. Ask us for a quote and compare.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the shoot.
Planning for dietary needs
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. We suggest:
- Name a contact in the production office
- Plan bins and waste at base
- Send final numbers the day before
- Collect diets and allergies with crew details
Fewer choices mean faster service in a lunch break.
A gazebo by the van keeps the line dry.
