About our film set catering in Badger Farm
We need a level, firm spot at base, and a clear route in. We’re frequently asked to cater live events and broadcasts and location shoots, with haddock and chips, cod and chips and pie and chips.
Around Badger Farm, locations can be rural. Let us know about access. 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.
How the day works
We get there well before service, park the van and get the fryers going. Your crew can wander over to the hatch once service starts. Daylight is short on winter shoots near Badger Farm: sunset is about 4:00pm.
- Contact us with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- A photo of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- 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.

- Arrange something for anyone with needs we cannot meet
- Send allergies to us in writing
- Collect diets and allergies with crew details
A short menu keeps the line moving in a lunch break.
Cover near the hatch helps on wet days.
Takeaway run or book a van?
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
Is a fish and chip van right for your shoot?
A wrap party at a venue costs more. A van makes a relaxed wrap. The cost per head typically falls as numbers rise, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
What you get with us
- Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy on the side
- No surprises in your quote
- We cook inside the van, whatever the weather
