Film set catering for Breach events
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
Film set catering in Breach, cooked to order
We need a level, firm spot at base, and a route the van can manage. Popular choices include mushy peas, sausage and chips and pie and chips, and typical bookings are for crew lunches at base and commercials and music videos.
Near Breach, check tracks and ground for the van with locations. The menu is short on purpose: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.
How it works
There’s very little for you to do on the day: point us to the spot and get on with your shoot. The frying and serving are down to us. Winter shoots near Breach chase the light, which goes at about 3:50pm in December, so lunch at base is frequently in daylight but a wrap meal isn’t.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check the route in and send a price.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
- We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we’re done.
Before we arrive
- Share the timings for the day
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
