Planning for dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Put allergy details in writing
- Tell us about coeliac crew specifically
- Agree the waste plan with locations
- Add an allergy question to crew forms
After service, we pack up and get out of the way.
A dining area at base helps.
How our film set catering works in Dane Hill
Seaside and period locations suit a fish and chip van perfectly. We serve cod and chips, mushy peas and sausage and chips, and typical bookings are for crew lunches at base and treat days on a long shoot.
Near Dane Hill, crews may be miles from anywhere to eat, so a van at base is a big help. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.

Takeaway run or book a van?
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.
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.
A closer look at the menu
Gravy
In the north and the Midlands, gravy is the side of choice, and it goes perfectly with a pie.
Cod and chips
For many people, cod and chips is the definitive version. Cooked fresh at the hatch, it goes out hot and crisp.
FAQs for Dane Hill
Do you come out to small places like Dane Hill?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
How far is Dane Hill from London?
About 61 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
How long does set-up take?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. We’ll agree arrival and serving times with you.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Tell us about coeliac crew when you enquire, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible.
Do you do anything other than fish?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we’ll tell you what we can offer.
What if the weather’s bad?
Rain doesn’t stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. It’s worth planning some cover for the queue.
Can you serve children?
Children are very welcome. Tell us how many children, and we will include them in the plan.
Can the van come to Dane Hill?
We do. Dane Hill is one of the places we cover. Send us your date to check availability.
