How our film set catering works in Broughton
We work with your location manager or production office on access, parking and timings. For fashion shoots on location and lunch at the unit base, we will put together a menu of mushy peas, sausage and chips and cod and chips for your guests.
Shoots around Broughton often use houses, farms and lanes. Let us know about access. We cook inside the van, right where your crew are, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.

How the day works
You don’t need to do much on the day: point us to the spot and get on with your shoot. We handle the cooking and serving. In December, daylight in Broughton ends around 3:55pm, so the unit base needs lighting for late service. Summer shoots have daylight until about 9:25pm.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive in good time to set up.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we’re done.
Getting ready for the day
- Get permission for the van from the venue
- Clear the route for the van
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue

Planning help
Takeaway run or book a van?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your crew instead.
Where the van can park in Broughton
We will be honest if a spot won’t work, and suggest an alternative. The main points are:
- Room for the crew to queue
- Agreement from the location manager and landowner
- Level, firm ground at base

A fish and chip van or other catering?
Long shoots usually need a full catering unit. A van is great for short jobs and crew treats. There’s no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. Your quote spells it all out.

For planners, venues and organisers
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan service to match. Staggering groups helps a lot.
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. Ask the council or landowner early.
