Fresh fish and chips in Wallington
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet

Why us?
- Nothing for you to cook or clear
- Quick service from the hatch
- Fried fresh, not kept warm

Film set catering for your shoot in Wallington

For a location shoot near Wallington, base might be in a field or farmyard. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet.

What else we do in Wallington
The process
Service is quick: everything is handed over hot from the hatch, and people can eat where they like. When service is finished, we pack up and leave the pitch tidy. Daylight is short on winter shoots near Wallington: sunset is about 4:00pm, so lunch at base is frequently in daylight but a wrap meal is not.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for the crew.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Before we arrive
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
