Film set catering in Fleeden, cooked to order
On a long job, a chip van day is a morale boost. Typical bookings include seaside and period locations and outside broadcasts, serving sausage and chips, cod and chips and haddock and chips.
Rural locations near Fleeden can be a long way from food, so lunch at base matters. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer before booking.
Should I sort the food myself?
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. Ask us for a quote and compare.
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.

Step by step
There’s very little for you to do on the day: show us the spot, tell us when to start, and enjoy your shoot. The frying and serving are down to us. On a winter shoot near Fleeden, the light goes by about 3:50pm, so the unit base needs lighting for late service. In summer, light lasts until about 9:15pm.
- Get in touch with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- A photo of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for the crew.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Getting ready for the day
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Name one person we can call on the day
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
