About our film set catering in Corhampton
Location shoots, commercials and wrap parties all suit a chip van. Popular choices include sausage and chips, cod and chips and haddock and chips, and we’re regularly asked to cater outside broadcasts and stills shoots.
For a shoot in a place like Corhampton, tracks and soft ground need checking. We cook inside the van, right where your crew are, so the batter is still crisp when it is handed over.

How it works
The first sign we’ve arrived is normally the smell. After that, it is a steady flow to the hatch. On a winter shoot near Corhampton, the light goes by about 4:00pm, so the unit base needs lighting for late service. Summer shoots have daylight until about 9:20pm.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for the crew.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Preparing for the day
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Give us a contact for the day
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain

Other occasions in Corhampton
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your crew instead.
