Film set catering for Bull Hill events
Film set catering for your shoot in Bull Hill
Call times change, so give us a contact on the day and we’ll work around it. For event crews and unit base lunches, we’ll put together a menu of haddock and chips, pie and chips and mushy peas for your guests.
Near Bull Hill, check tracks and ground for the van. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your shoot, so the batter is still crisp when it is handed over.
How it works
We need a level, firm place to park the van, near your crew, which we agree with you beforehand. In December, daylight in Bull Hill ends around 4:00pm, so a late lunch or wrap at base needs lighting. In summer, light lasts until about 9:25pm.
- Send us 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.
Before we arrive
- Clear the route for the van
- Give us a contact for the day
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
Ask for a quote
We quote for each event separately, so the price fits what you actually need. To ask for one, use our quote form.

- Lighting for early or late service
- Away from the shooting area’s sound
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before booking.

Food your guests will love
Cod and chips
Cod and chips is the meal most people picture when they think of a chip shop. Cooked fresh at the hatch, it’s hot, crisp and generous.
Pie and chips
For a heartier option, there is pie and chips.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is typically the easier option.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
