Fresh fish and chips in Enham Alamein
Film set catering in Enham Alamein, fried fresh
A van can get a crew fed quickly within the lunch break, without needing a kitchen on location. Typical bookings include commercials and music videos and crew treats on long shoot days, serving sausage and chips, mushy peas and haddock and chips.
Near Enham Alamein, crews may be miles from anywhere to eat, so a van at base is a big help. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet, and handed over as soon as it is ready.

Step by step
The van turns up at the agreed time, pulls onto the spot you’ve chosen and the hatch goes up. Once the oil is hot, the first portions go out right on schedule. In December, daylight in Enham Alamein ends around 4:00pm, so a late lunch or wrap at base needs lighting. In summer, light lasts until about 9:25pm.

How we price a fish and chip van for the crew
The same numbers can mean different prices, depending on:
- The menu and how many choices
- The number of meals
- Access and parking
- Whether a minimum applies
A chip van often compares well with a plated meal, as there is no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. We will send you a quote.

These details help us quote quickly:
- Where the van would park
- The venue or postcode

- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
Each quote is put together for your shoot. Give us your date first, and we’ll confirm whether we are available that day.
