How our film set catering works in Argos Hill
We work with your location manager or production office on access, parking and timings. Whether it’s music video shoots and period dramas on location, we will put together a menu of haddock and chips, mushy peas and pie and chips.
Near Argos Hill, check tracks and ground for the van with locations. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your shoot, so the batter is still crisp when it is handed over.

Why choose a fish and chip van in Argos Hill?
Ordering takeaway to a location is unreliable. A van cooks at the unit base. Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is often good value, as there’s no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. We’ll send you a quote.
Why book with us
- Something for crew to gather round

The same numbers can mean different prices, depending on:
- Parking and the way in
- The day of the week
- Numbers
- Whether a minimum applies
Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. Ask us what applies to your shoot.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
The process
The van needs a level, firm spot it can drive onto, close to where people will eat, and we agree exactly where before the day. Sunset in Argos Hill is about 8:50pm in late May, 9:15pm at midsummer and 7:05pm in late September; for dawn calls or late wraps, plan lighting at base.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.
Getting ready for the day
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
Get a quote
Send us the date, the address or TN6 postcode and rough numbers, along with your serving time, and we will reply with a quote. Just send us your details through our quote form.

- Agree how the base is left
- Plan an alternative for anyone we cannot cater for
- Send the unit base address and directions
We work to the lunch time on the call sheet, with a contact for changes.
