A fish and chip van or other catering?
Long shoots normally need a full catering unit. A van is great for short jobs and crew treats. If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we’ll suggest how to make it work. A short menu is often the best value.
Why us?
- Nothing for you to cook or clear
- Something for crew to gather round
- A menu almost everyone likes
- A clear quote before you book
See our prices page or the cost guide.
Should I sort the food myself?
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.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
Looking after everyone
Allergies are taken seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Send allergies to us in writing
- Add an allergy question to crew forms
- Give us a contact for call-time changes
- Flag any coeliac crew
A short menu keeps the line moving in a lunch break.
Cover near the hatch helps on wet days.

- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for the crew.
