Film set catering in Bury's Bank, cooked to order
A chip van is a popular crew treat on a long shoot, alongside regular catering. Whether it is location shoots and wrap celebrations, we can cook cod and chips, pie and chips and mushy peas.
For a shoot in a place like Bury's Bank, tracks and soft ground need checking with locations. We serve from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and service is quick once we are up and running.

Takeaway run or book a van?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.

Organising for someone else?
Venues frequently have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: 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.

What happens on the day
We need time before service to bring the fryers up to heat, so we always arrive well ahead of your serving time. Daylight is short on winter shoots near Bury's Bank: sunset is about 4:00pm, so lunch at base is frequently in daylight but a wrap meal is not.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Preparing for the day
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Make sure the van can get in
