Film set catering for Bredhurst events
For planners, venues and organisers
Many venues set rules for catering vans: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will confirm what we can provide.
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Staggering groups helps a lot.
Film set catering in Bredhurst, fried fresh
A chip van is a popular crew treat on a long shoot, alongside regular catering. For wrap parties and shoots on location, we’ll put together a menu of cod and chips, mushy peas and pie and chips for your guests.
Near Bredhurst, check tracks and ground for the van. We serve from the hatch, so it is hot and generous, and service is quick once we are up and running.

A fish and chip van or other catering?
Long shoots generally need a full catering unit. A van is great for short jobs and crew treats. Distance and any road charges make a difference, so tell us exactly where your shoot is.
What you get with us
- Classic food your crew already know
- Nothing for you to cook or clear
- Hot food handed straight over
- Fried fresh, not kept warm
Read our prices page or the cost guide.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
Food your guests will love
Curry sauce
Some people will not eat chips without curry sauce and it is on the menu.
Pie and chips
Pie and chips gives people a filling alternative to fish, perfect with gravy.
