How our film set catering works in Dunton
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. We serve pie and chips, mushy peas and sausage and chips, and typical bookings are for shoots on location and lunch at the unit base.
Near Dunton, check tracks and ground for the van with locations. We keep the menu short: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.

The menu, dish by dish
Haddock and chips
Some people swear by haddock: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Tell us if you’d like to offer it.
Curry sauce
The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, great with chips and sausages.
How the day works
The van turns up at the agreed time, pulls onto the spot you’ve chosen and the hatch goes up. When the fryers are up to heat, service starts at the time you asked for. Light in Dunton lasts until about 9:25pm at midsummer; for dawn calls or late wraps, plan lighting at base.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks, and how it gets in.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Preparing for the day
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely

FAQs for Dunton
Do you come out to small places like Dunton?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.

About 42 miles from central London.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Of course. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Include children in your numbers.
What if the weather’s bad?
We carry on in the rain, because the fryers are inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.

That depends on your numbers and timings. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Not as standard: batter is normally made with wheat flour. Let us know and we will tell you what we can do before you book.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes, always. We fry to order in the van at your venue, and serve straight from the hatch.
