Film set catering in East End
Is a fish and chip van right for your shoot?
For a crew treat, a fish and chip van is a great choice in East End. There is no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. Your quote spells it all out.
Why East End hosts choose us
- Cod, haddock, sausages and pies
- All the chip-shop extras
- Hot food handed straight over
- Rain does not stop the fryers
Film set catering in East End, fried fresh
A van can get a crew fed quickly within the lunch break, without needing a kitchen on location. Typical bookings include end-of-shoot parties and crew morale days, with cod and chips, pie and chips and haddock and chips.
Near East End, crews may be miles from anywhere to eat, so a van at base is a big help. We bring the van and everything we need to cook, and we leave the pitch tidy when we go.

Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is generally simpler.
Allergies and dietary needs
Allergies are taken seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Update numbers if they change
- Give us a contact for call-time changes
- Add an allergy question to crew forms
- Confirm allergies by email
Supporting artists and visitors can be included in numbers.
A chip van wrap party is a great way to finish a shoot.

Common questions in East End
Which station is closest to East End?
The closest is Combe station, roughly 1.2 miles away.
Do you come out to small places like East End?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.

Proper fish and chips, plus sausage or pie and chips. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.
What about crew who do not eat fish?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Tell us about other diets and we’ll tell you what we can offer.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Let us know about coeliac crew in advance, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible.
Do you need power or water?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Mention any power or water available and we will confirm the rest.
Do you have a kids’ option?
