Film set catering in East Studdal
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. 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.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is usually the easier option.
About our film set catering in East Studdal
Location shoots, commercials and wrap parties all suit a chip van. We serve haddock and chips, sausage and chips and cod and chips, and we are regularly asked to cater period dramas on location and shoots on location.
For a shoot in a place like East Studdal, tracks and soft ground need checking with locations. Everything is fried fresh at your shoot, not cooked earlier and kept warm, and served the moment it comes out of the fryer.
Food your guests will love
Curry sauce
Some people will not eat chips without curry sauce, so we bring it along.
Mushy peas
Proper mushy peas start with dried marrowfat peas. They’re the classic side with fish and chips.

Planners, venues and businesses
For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can hold the date.
Parks, greens and streets typically need permission for a catering van. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
Is a fish and chip van right for your shoot?
Some locations have nowhere to buy food. The van solves that. Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. Ask us what applies to your shoot.
Why book with us
- The queue at the hatch gets people talking
- A clear quote before you book
- Hot food handed straight over
- The classic sides: peas, curry sauce and gravy
What happens on the day
Setting up takes a little while, because the oil has to come up to temperature, so we are there in good time before you want to eat. Winter shoots near East Studdal chase the light, which goes at about 3:50pm in December, so lunch at base is often in daylight but a wrap meal is not.
- Tell us what you are planning and when you’d like to eat.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.

East Studdal: your questions answered
Do you come out to small places like East Studdal?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can you serve near the sea around East Studdal?
Yes, of course. Wind does not affect the fryers, but plan a sheltered spot for the queue.
Is there a non-fish option?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Tell us about other diets and we’ll be honest about what’s possible.
Do you need power or water?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Tell us whether there is power or water nearby and we’ll take it from there.
Where can the van park?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, near your crew, and space for a queue. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
How fast is service?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we will plan service around it.
How much is fish and chip van hire?
We quote for each booking, based on your numbers and timings. Tell us your date and rough numbers for a clear quote.
What happens if it rains?
Rain does not stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. It is worth planning some cover for the queue.
What affects the price in East Studdal
There’s nothing hidden: the price is based on:
- How far we travel
- Cod, haddock or both
- Access and parking
- The day of the week
Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. Your quote spells it all out.
What we need to know
The more we know about your shoot, the better we can plan. Try to include:
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- Expected numbers
- A picture of the parking spot
- Your date and serving time
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: where the van would park, how to get in, numbers and timings. Photos of the spot and the way in help. When you are ready, send us your details through our quote form.
