How our film set catering works in Crowhurst
A chip van is a popular crew treat on a long shoot, alongside regular catering. For location shoots and wrap celebrations, we can cook haddock and chips, pie and chips and mushy peas and more.
Near Crowhurst, crews may be miles from anywhere to eat, so a van at base is a big help. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your shoot, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.

The menu, dish by dish
Haddock and chips
Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it’s the favourite in much of the south. We batter it and fry it to order, so it’s crisp when it reaches you.
A chip van compared with other options
Ordering takeaway to a location is unreliable. A van cooks at the unit base. Most vans have a minimum charge, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. Ask us what applies to your shoot.

Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your crew instead.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
