A chip van near Cripp's Corner
Film set catering for your shoot in Cripp's Corner
On a long shoot day, a good hot lunch keeps morale up. A fish and chip van parks at the unit base and fries to order. Typical bookings include music video shoots and fashion shoots on location, with haddock and chips, cod and chips and pie and chips.
Rural locations near Cripp's Corner can be a long way from food, so lunch at base matters. We cook inside the van, right where your crew are, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.

Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is normally the easier option.
