How our film set catering works in Cryers Hill
Shoot days are long, and a hot lunch on time matters. A fish and chip van parks at the unit base and fries to order. On the menu are pie and chips, sausage and chips and mushy peas, and typical bookings are for seaside shoots and crew morale days.
Near Cryers Hill, crews may be miles from anywhere to eat, so a van at base is a big help. Food is served straight from the hatch, so it is hot and generous, and service is quick once we’re up and running.

Allergies and dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Give us a map or what3words for base
- Give us a contact for call-time changes
- Tell us about coeliac crew specifically
- Ask for dietary needs on the crew info form
Fewer choices mean faster service.
End the shoot with a chip van wrap.
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. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.

What the van needs
If a spot isn’t suitable, we’ll tell you, and help find another. The main points are:
- Permission for the van at base
- Away from the shooting area’s sound
- A clear route to base
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.

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:
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- The day of the week
- Your choice of menu
- How many people are eating
Distance and any road charges make a difference, so it helps to give us the postcode.
Details that help
To speed things up, tell us:
- The date and time of the event
- The venue or postcode
- A picture of where the van would go
- Any dietary needs and allergies
Most quotes start with a few simple details: the date, where the van would park, roughly how many people and when you’d like to eat. You can send us your details through our quote form.
Why choose a fish and chip van in Cryers Hill?
A full location catering unit suits long shoots with three meals a day. A chip van suits short shoots and treat days. The cost per head generally falls as numbers rise, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
What you get with us
- Something for crew to gather round
- Works on wet days as well as sunny ones
- Everything cooked to order at your event
- Served hot, straight from the hatch
Step by step
When we arrive, we park up on the agreed spot, set up and heat the fryers. Once we’re hot, we cook to order, timed around your shoot. Daylight is short on winter shoots near Cryers Hill: sunset is about 3:55pm, so lunch at base is frequently in daylight but a wrap meal is not.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Before we arrive
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
