Film set catering for your shoot in Bramley
Location shoots, commercials and wrap parties all suit a chip van. Whether it is music video shoots and treat days on a long shoot, we can cook haddock and chips, pie and chips and cod and chips for your guests.
Around Bramley, locations can be rural. Tell us about the route to base. You will know what’s included before you book: serving times, the menu and anything else agreed.
The process
The first sign we’ve arrived is normally the smell. After that, it is a steady flow to the hatch. In December, daylight in Bramley ends around 3:55pm, so the unit base needs lighting for late service. Summer shoots have daylight until about 9:20pm.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.
How to prepare
- Let us know the serving time
- Get permission for the van from the venue
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
Getting a price
We quote for each event separately, so the price fits what you actually need. To ask for one, fill in our quote form.

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Ordering takeaway to a location is unreliable. A van cooks at the unit base. Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. Ask us what applies to your shoot.
Why us?
- Works on wet days as well as sunny ones
- Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy on the side

The menu, dish by dish
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it is what most people in the south ask for. It’s battered and fried to order.
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. It’s the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is typically the easier option.
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.
Allergies and dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs and allergies early, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer. To get it right:
- Put allergy details in writing
- Plan bins and waste at base
- Arrange something for anyone with needs we can’t meet
- Add an allergy question to crew forms
We take our used oil and waste with us.
End the shoot with a chip van wrap.
