About our film set catering in Caulcott
Everything is cooked as crew come up, so it’s hot when the break is called. We serve cod and chips, sausage and chips and mushy peas, and we are frequently booked for location shoots and seaside and period locations.
Near Caulcott, check tracks and ground for the van. Food is served straight from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and the queue keeps moving.

Where the van can park in Caulcott

Looking after everyone
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. We suggest:
- Plan bins and waste at base
- Have a back-up for special diets
- Collect diets and allergies with crew details
- Share the base location and route
Lunch is planned around the call sheet, and a contact keeps us updated.
A dining area at base helps.
What a fish and chip van costs
The price comes down to a few factors:
- Distance and any road charges
- The number of meals
- Cod, haddock or both
- Whether a minimum applies
Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. Ask us what applies to your shoot.
What to tell us
For a quote, it helps to have:
- Allergies and diets you know about
- Your date and serving time
- Where the event is
- Where the van would park
Not sure of numbers yet? No problem: tell us the basics about your shoot, and we’ll quote on that. To start, send us your details through our quote form.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your crew instead.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the shoot.

About the food
Mushy peas

Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. It is the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.
