Fresh fish and chips in Burpham
Film set catering in Burpham, fried fresh
The van needs level, firm ground at the unit base, and a clear route in. We serve haddock and chips, pie and chips and sausage and chips, and we’re regularly asked to cater treat days on a long shoot and end-of-shoot parties.
Around Burpham, locations can be rural. Tell us about the route to base. Your quote spells out what’s included: serving times, the menu and anything else agreed, with no surprises on the day.
For planners, venues and organisers
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Sending people up in groups helps.
Many venues set rules for catering vans: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will work through them with you.
How the day works
From set-up to the last portion, we look after the food, so you can get on with your shoot in Burpham. Sunset in Burpham is about 8:55pm in late May, 9:20pm at midsummer and 7:05pm in late September; for early or late service, base needs lighting.
- Tell us what you are planning and when you’d like to eat.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Getting ready for the day
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
- Let us know the serving time
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue

DIY versus a fish and chip van
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the shoot.
Planning for dietary needs
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. We suggest:
- Name a contact in the production office
- Send allergies to us in writing
- Share the base location and route
- Ask for dietary needs on the crew info form
We clear up quickly after lunch.
A dining area at base helps.
