Film set catering for your shoot in Burridge
We work with your location manager or production office on access, parking and timings. Typical bookings include end-of-shoot parties and crew lunches at base, with cod and chips, haddock and chips and mushy peas.
Near Burridge, crews may be miles from anywhere to eat, so lunch at base matters. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet, and served the moment it comes out of the fryer.

Planners, venues and businesses
If you are booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we will explain how it works. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
Venues frequently have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
Space, access and the venue
If a spot is not suitable, we will tell you, and help find another. The main points are:
- Space in front of the hatch
- A lit spot for dark mornings or evenings
- Permission for the van at base
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.

A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.

A closer look at the menu
Cod and chips
For many people, cod and chips is the definitive version. Cooked fresh at the hatch, it goes out hot and crisp.
Haddock and chips
Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. It is the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.

- Contact us with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
