Fresh fish and chips in Coleshill
Film set catering in Coleshill, fried fresh
The van needs level, firm ground at the unit base, and a route the van can manage. We are frequently asked to cater wrap celebrations and photo shoots, serving pie and chips, haddock and chips and sausage and chips.
Near Coleshill, crews may be miles from anywhere to eat, so lunch at base matters. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.

What does it cost to hire the van?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and travel. Send us the details for a quote.
Can you park at the unit base?
Yes, wherever locations agree.
Can you cook in the rain?
We carry on in the rain, because the fryers are inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
Is grass a problem?
It depends on the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and send a photo if you can.
What food do you serve?
Fish and chips, of course, plus sausage or pie and chips. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.

How it works
Nothing is cooked before it is needed. Fish is battered and fried when people come up to the hatch, which is why it tastes like it does at the seaside. In December, daylight in Coleshill ends around 3:55pm, so the unit base needs lighting for late service. In summer, light lasts until about 9:25pm.
- First, tell us about your shoot.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for the crew.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.
How to prepare
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Give us a contact for the day
