Fresh fish and chips in Broughton
How our film set catering works in Broughton
Shoot days are long, and a hot lunch on time matters. A fish and chip van parks at the unit base and fries to order. For period dramas on location and unit base lunches, we’ll put together a menu of pie and chips, haddock and chips and sausage and chips.
Near Broughton, check tracks and ground for the van. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we’ll be straight with you about what we can do before booking.

A chip van compared with other options

- We check the route in and send a price.
- 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.

Should I sort the food myself?
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We are happy to send a quote so you can compare.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
Planners, venues and businesses
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can hold the date.
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan service to match. Sending people up in groups helps.
Diets, allergies and planning
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. We suggest:
- Update numbers if they change
- Name a contact in the production office
- Let us know about coeliac disease
- Put allergy details in writing
After service, we pack up and get out of the way.
A dining area at base helps.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
