Step by step
We get there well before service, park the van and get the fryers going. Your crew can wander over to the hatch once service starts. Daylight is short on winter shoots near Fairwarp: sunset is about 3:55pm, so lunch at base is frequently in daylight but a wrap meal isn’t.
- We start with a few details about your shoot.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- We cook to order on the day for the crew.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.

About the food
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips is the go-to for anyone who isn’t a fish fan.
Curry sauce
The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, perfect with chips or a sausage.
Should I sort the food myself?
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We’re happy to send a quote so you can compare.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the shoot.
