Planning the van’s spot

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

How our film set catering works in East Worldham
Fried-to-order service suits a lunch break, without needing a kitchen on location. Typical bookings include event crews and shoots on location, serving sausage and chips, haddock and chips and cod and chips.
Rural locations near East Worldham can be a long way from food, so lunch at base matters. We serve from the hatch, so it is hot and generous, and the queue keeps moving.

Takeaway run or book a van?
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
Prices and what affects them
The same numbers can mean different prices, depending on:
- Distance and any road charges
- The number of meals
- The date and time of year
- Any minimum charge
A chip van often compares well with a plated meal, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. We will send you a quote.
Getting an accurate quote
You do not need everything decided to ask for a quote, but these help:
- A picture of where the van would go
- The date and time of the event
- Roughly how many people, including children
- Dietary needs, with numbers

Is a fish and chip van right for your shoot?
Long shoots generally need a full catering unit. A chip van suits short shoots and treat days. Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. We set everything out in your quote.
What you get with us
- Served hot, straight from the hatch
- We cook inside the van, whatever the weather
- Everything cooked to order at your event
- Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy on the side
Diets, allergies and planning
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. Our advice:
- Share the base location and route
- Have a back-up for special diets
- Name a contact in the production office
- Agree how the base is left
We clear up quickly after lunch.
Tables or a marquee at base make lunch comfortable.
The menu, dish by dish
Haddock and chips
Some people swear by haddock: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.
