Film set catering in Broom Street, cooked to order
Seaside and period locations suit a fish and chip van perfectly. For seaside shoots and location shoots, we can cook cod and chips, haddock and chips and mushy peas and more.
Near Broom Street, crews may be miles from anywhere to eat, so lunch at base matters. Food is served straight from the hatch, so it is hot and generous, and service is quick once we are up and running.

What a fish and chip van costs
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Parking and the way in
- The minimum booking
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- How many people are eating
Most vans have a minimum charge, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. Ask us what applies to your shoot.
