Book the van in Cudworth

How our film set catering works in Cudworth

Schedules move, so give us a contact on the day and we will work around it. On the menu are cod and chips, sausage and chips and haddock and chips, and we are often booked for end-of-shoot parties and music video shoots.

For a shoot in a place like Cudworth, tracks and soft ground need checking with locations. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, not cooked earlier and kept warm.

How we price a fish and chip van for the crew

Fish and chip van pricing is simple once we know the basics:

  • The number of meals
  • The minimum booking
  • Distance and any road charges
  • Your choice of menu

Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is frequently good value, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. Ask us for a quote.

What we need to know

To check availability and price, we need:

  • Roughly how many people, including children
  • A picture of where the van would go
  • How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
  • The address or venue name

Getting a quote is simple: share your date, address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat. We will send a clear quote that says what’s included.

Space, access and the venue

The van has to be able to get in and park safely, and a little planning goes a long way. Here’s what we look for:

  • Permission for the van at base
  • Room for the crew to queue
  • A hardstanding spot at the unit base

If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

Popular choices

  • Haddock and chips
  • Cod and chips
  • Crew lunches
  • Mushy peas
  • Pie and chips
  • Sausage and chips

What comes out of the fryer

Mushy peas

Mushy peas are a must for plenty of fish and chip fans.

Haddock and chips

Haddock has loyal fans: a firmer flake and a sweeter taste. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.

For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can hold the date.

FAQs for Cudworth

Is Cudworth too small for a chip van?

No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.

Which station is closest to Cudworth?

The closest is Holmwood station, roughly 2.8 miles away.

Is the fish gluten-free?

No, not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Let us know and we’ll tell you what we can do.

How do you handle allergies?

Let us know about allergies in advance, and we will give you the allergen information and what we can offer.

Can you work to the call sheet?

Schedules move, and we plan for it. A contact on the day is all we need.

Do you clear up afterwards?

We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. It helps to have bins near the hatch.

What’s on the menu?

Proper fish and chips, plus sausage or pie and chips. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.

What if we only have street parking?

Only where it is legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Ask your council early.

How it works

The first sign we’ve arrived is typically the smell. After that, it is a steady flow to the hatch. Sunset in Cudworth is about 8:50pm in late May, 9:20pm at midsummer and 7:05pm in late September; for dawn calls or late wraps, plan lighting at base.

  1. First, the plan: what, where and what time.
  2. We come back with availability and a clear price.
  3. We agree exactly where the van parks.
  4. Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
  5. The pitch is left tidy when we go.

Before we arrive

  • Clear the route for the van
  • Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
  • Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
