About the food
Cod and chips
For many people, cod and chips is the definitive version. Fried to order in the van, it goes out hot and crisp.
Gravy
In the north and the Midlands, gravy is the side of choice, and it’s lovely with a pie.
A fish and chip van or other catering?
Long shoots generally need a full catering unit. A van is great for short jobs and crew treats. Most vans have a minimum charge, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. We’ll tell you up front.

- The classic sides: peas, curry sauce and gravy
- Classic food your crew already know

How it works
Changes on the day are fine: we can start a little later or slow the pace to suit your shoot. At midsummer, Chillerton has light until about 9:20pm.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A photo of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for the crew.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Before we arrive
- Share the timings for the day
