Film set catering for your shoot in Bolter End
We need a level, firm spot at base, and a clear route in. On the menu are sausage and chips, pie and chips and cod and chips, and we are regularly asked to cater ad shoots and end-of-shoot parties.
Rural locations near Bolter End can be a long way from food, so a van at base is a big help. The menu is short on purpose: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.

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. We are happy to send a quote so you can compare.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your crew instead.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
