About our film set catering in Combe
We work with your location manager or production office on access, parking and timings. We serve pie and chips, haddock and chips and sausage and chips, and we’re often booked for location filming and event crews.
Near Combe, crews may be miles from anywhere to eat, so a van at base is a big help. We bring the van and everything we need to cook, and we leave the pitch tidy when we go.

Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. We’re happy to send a quote so you can compare.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it is fried on the spot.

How we price a fish and chip van for the crew
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Service time
- Whether a minimum applies
- The number of meals
- The menu and how many choices
When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: service time, menu, travel, any minimum and VAT. We set ours out clearly.
Getting an accurate quote
Good planning starts with a few facts. Try to include:
- The address or venue name
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
- A picture of where the van would go
- Dietary needs, with numbers
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: where the van would park, how to get in, numbers and timings. Photos of the spot and the way in help. When you are ready, use our quote form.
