Film set catering for your shoot in Duddleswell
Fried-to-order service suits a lunch break, without needing a kitchen on location. Whether it is fashion shoots on location and wrap celebrations, we can cook sausage and chips, haddock and chips and cod and chips for your guests.
Rural locations near Duddleswell can be a long way from food, so a van at base is a big help. Everything is fried fresh at your shoot, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet, and handed over as soon as it is ready.

The menu, dish by dish

What a fish and chip van costs
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- Your choice of menu
- How easy the site is to reach
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
Cost depends on numbers, menu and service time, plus travel and access. Every booking gets its own quote.
Getting an accurate quote
Good planning starts with a few facts. Try to include:
- A picture of the parking spot
- Dietary needs, with numbers
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
- The spot you have in mind for the van
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: the parking spot, access, numbers and serving time. Photos of the spot and the way in help. When you’re ready, fill in our quote form.
Diets, allergies and planning
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. We suggest:
- Collect diets and allergies with crew details
- Confirm allergies by email
- Arrange something for anyone with needs we can’t meet
- Send the unit base address and directions
We set up at the unit base ahead of lunch, out of the way.
A chip van wrap party is a great way to finish a shoot.
