Organising for someone else?
Parks, greens and streets usually need permission for a catering van. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan service to match. Sending people up in groups helps.
About our film set catering in Alkerton
The van needs level, firm ground at the unit base, and a clear route in. We serve cod and chips, pie and chips and haddock and chips, and typical bookings are for ad shoots and crew lunches at base.
Near Alkerton, check tracks and ground for the van. We keep the menu short: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.

How the day works
Nothing is cooked before it’s needed. Fish is battered and fried when people come up to the hatch, so it is as fresh as from any chip shop. Sunset in Alkerton is about 9:00pm in late May, 9:30pm at midsummer and 7:10pm in late September; for early or late service, base needs lighting.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.
Before we arrive
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
- Ensure the van can get in
