About the food
Sausage and chips
A sausage and chips is the chip-shop classic for younger crew and fish-dodgers, especially with curry sauce.
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. It’s the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.
Events we cater in Buscot

The process
Nothing is cooked before it’s needed. Fish is battered and fried when people come up to the hatch, which is why it tastes like it does at the seaside. Daylight is short on winter shoots near Buscot: sunset is about 4:00pm, so lunch at base is often in daylight but a wrap meal isn’t.
- First, tell us about your shoot.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- We cook to order on the day for the crew.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.
Getting ready for the day
- Have a level parking spot ready
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
