About our film set catering in Church Norton
The van needs level, firm ground at the unit base, and a clear route in. We are often asked to cater end-of-shoot parties and unit base lunches, serving pie and chips, mushy peas and sausage and chips.
Rural locations near Church Norton can be a long way from food, so a van at base is a big help. Food is served straight from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and service is quick once we are up and running.

The menu, dish by dish
Haddock and chips
Some people swear by haddock: a firmer flake and a sweeter taste. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.
Gravy
Gravy brings a bit of warmth to the meal.
Planning for dietary needs
We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible. To get it right:
- Confirm allergies by email
- Agree how the base is left
- Add an allergy question to crew forms
- Update numbers if they change
After service, we pack up and get out of the way.
Pre-orders from the crew help on tight breaks.

What a fish and chip van costs
The same numbers can mean different prices, depending on:
- How far we travel
- How long we serve
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- Whether a minimum applies
Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. We set everything out in your quote.
Details that help
To speed things up, tell us:
- Allergies and diets you know about
- Where you’d like the van to go
- Expected numbers
- A picture of the parking spot
We only need a few details to quote: the date, where the van would park, roughly how many people and when you’d like to eat. To send them, use our quote form.
