Film set catering for your shoot in Chale Green
Call times change, so give us a contact on the day and we’ll work around it. For ad shoots and treat days on a long shoot, we can cook pie and chips, mushy peas and haddock and chips.
Near Chale Green, crews may be miles from anywhere to eat, so lunch at base matters. We cook inside the van, right where your crew are, so the batter is still crisp when it’s handed over.

How it works
The van turns up at the agreed time, pulls onto the spot you’ve chosen and the hatch goes up. Once the oil is hot, the first portions go out right on schedule. Sunset in Chale Green is about 8:55pm in late May, 9:20pm at midsummer and 7:10pm in late September; for early or late service, base needs lighting.
- The production office sends us the location, dates, numbers and lunch time.
- We check the route and the unit base and send a price.
- We arrange the van’s spot at the unit base with locations.
- We serve hot from the hatch when lunch is called.
- We pack up straight after service and leave the base tidy.
How to prepare
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Name one person we can call on the day
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely

Your questions about a fish and chip van for the crew in Chale Green
Is Chale Green too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
What about events near the coast?
Yes. Wind does not affect the fryers, but plan a sheltered spot for the queue.
How much does a fish and chip van for the crew cost in Chale Green?
It depends on numbers, the menu, how long we serve and travel. Tell us about your shoot and we’ll send a quote.
Is there a non-fish option?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Tell us about other diets and we will tell you what we can offer.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We clear the van’s area after service. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.
What does the van need?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, near your crew, with room for a queue at the hatch. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
What paperwork do you provide?
Every production asks for different things, so ask your production office for the list.
Is there something for children?
Children are very welcome. Let us know numbers, and we’ll include them in the plan.
Space, access and the venue
If a spot is not suitable, we will tell you, and suggest an alternative. What matters most:
- The location’s agreement
- A lit spot for dark mornings or evenings
- A hardstanding spot at the unit base
For somewhere as remote as Chale Green, early notice helps us plan the trip.
Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly.
