- Permission for the van at base
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.

Film set catering for your shoot in Blackmoor
We work with your location manager or production office on access, parking and timings. On the menu are pie and chips, mushy peas and sausage and chips, and we’re regularly asked to cater location shoots and outside broadcasts.
For a shoot in a place like Blackmoor, tracks and soft ground need checking with locations. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.

Takeaway run or book a van?
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 usually simpler.
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.
What happens on the day
When we arrive, we position the van, set up the hatch and get the fryers up to temperature. Then everything is fried to order, so we time it to your schedule. On a winter shoot near Blackmoor, the light goes by about 4:00pm, so the unit base needs lighting for late service. In summer, light lasts until about 9:20pm.
- The production office sends us the location, dates, numbers and lunch time.
- We check the route and the unit base and send a price.
- We arrange the van’s spot at the unit base with locations.
- We set up at the unit base and fry to order for the lunch break.
- Afterwards we pack up and leave the unit base clean.
Getting ready for the day
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Get permission for the van from the venue
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van

Roughly 44 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Is Blackmoor too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
How much does a fish and chip van for the crew cost in Blackmoor?
It depends on numbers, the menu, how long we serve and travel. Send us the details for a quote.
Is everything cooked fresh?
It is. The fryers are in the van, so it is fried on the spot, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
Can the van come to base?
Usually, if there’s level, firm ground. Locations will decide where.
What do we need to supply?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Mention any power or water available and we’ll take it from there.

We can. Tell us the lunch time and a contact on the day, and we will work around changes where we can.
Can the van park on grass?
Often, if the ground is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
