A chip van near Baybridge
Film set catering in Baybridge, cooked to order
Schedules move, so a contact on the day helps and we will work around it. Popular choices include sausage and chips, haddock and chips and cod and chips, and we’re frequently booked for crew morale days and photo shoots.
Rural locations near Baybridge can be a long way from food, so a van at base is a big help. Everything is fried fresh at your shoot, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet, and handed over as soon as it is ready.
Space, access and the venue
Before the day, we’ll agree where the van parks. It needs to tick a few simple boxes:
- Far enough from set to keep noise down
- A hardstanding spot at the unit base
- Lighting for early or late service
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.
Popular choices
- Cod and chips
- Sausage and chips
- Haddock and chips
- Pie and chips
- Crew lunches
- Mushy peas

Organising for someone else?
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan service to match. Sending people up in groups helps.
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is generally simpler.
