About our film set catering in Easton
Food is fried to order, so lunch is hot and fresh. For live events and broadcasts and crew lunches at base, we will put together a menu of haddock and chips, mushy peas and cod and chips for your guests.
Rural locations near Easton can be a long way from food, so lunch at base matters. We serve from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and service is quick once we’re up and running.

Planners, venues and businesses
Venues frequently have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll work through them with you.
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we’ll talk you through the process. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.

Should I sort the food myself?
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.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
What the van needs
Before the day, we will agree where the van parks. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- A route in the van can manage, with no low branches or tight lanes
- Clear of the shot and sound
- A hardstanding spot at the unit base
Easton is a more remote spot, so tell us early and we will plan the journey.
Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly.

- Location filming
- Unit base lunches
- Live events and broadcasts
- Music video shoots
Among the historic houses close to Easton are Mottistone Manor (4.2 miles east). Historic houses are popular locations, and most set strict rules for vehicles, so plan the unit base with locations.

What happens on the day
We do not cook ahead. Fish is battered and fried when people come up to the hatch, so it is as fresh as from any chip shop. Winter shoots near Easton chase the light, which goes at about 4:05pm in December, so lunch at base is often in daylight but a wrap meal isn’t.
- The production office sends us the location, dates, numbers and lunch time.
- We check the route and the unit base and send a price.
- Parking and arrival are agreed with locations.
- We cook to order through the crew’s lunch break.
- We pack up straight after service and leave the base tidy.
How to prepare
- Plan where the queue will stand
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
- Name one person we can call on the day

Questions from Easton
Is Easton too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Can you serve near the sea around Easton?
Yes. Wind does not affect the fryers, but plan a sheltered spot for the queue.
What food do you serve?
Chip-shop favourites: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.
What does the van need?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, close to where people will eat, and space for a queue. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
What paperwork do you provide?
Every production asks for different things, so send us the list.
Can you cater for allergies?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Tell us about allergies in advance.
Do we need to provide anything?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Tell us whether there is power or water nearby and we will confirm the rest.
Can you adjust to schedule changes?
We can. Give us a contact for changes, and we’ll adjust where possible.
