About our film set catering in Birtley Green
A van can get a crew fed quickly within the lunch break, without needing a kitchen on location. Whether it’s wrap parties and music video shoots, we can cook haddock and chips, mushy peas and cod and chips and more.
Near Birtley Green, crews may be miles from anywhere to eat, so lunch at base matters. Your quote spells out what’s included: serving times, the menu and anything else agreed, with no surprises on the day.
Working with your venue
Parks, greens and streets typically need permission for a catering van. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Sending people up in groups helps.
How it works
We work to your timings. If things run late, we hold off cooking until you’re ready, so the food is still fresh when it is served. Long summer days in Birtley Green, with light until about 9:20pm, suit evening wraps outdoors.
- We start with a few details about your shoot.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for the crew.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.

FAQs for Birtley Green
Is Birtley Green too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Which station is closest to Birtley Green?
Shalford station, about 2.6 miles north of the centre.
What can crew choose from?
Fish and chips, of course, plus sausage or pie and chips. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
Can the van park on the street?
That depends on local parking rules. A drive, car park or yard is usually easier; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes. We cook inside the van, so food is cooked there and then, rather than made in advance.
Do we need to provide equipment?
The van comes fully equipped to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Let us know about coeliac crew in advance, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer.
Who clears up?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
