Film set catering in Fosten Green, cooked to order
On a long shoot day, a good hot lunch keeps morale up. A fish and chip van parks at the unit base and fries to order. Popular choices include pie and chips, cod and chips and haddock and chips, and we’re frequently booked for fashion shoots on location and ad shoots.
Near Fosten Green, crews may be miles from anywhere to eat, so a van at base is a big help. Everything is fried fresh at your shoot, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet.

We expect changes. A contact on the day is all we need.
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?
Productions vary, so ask your production office for the list and we will go through it.
Can you feed supporting artists too?
Of course. Just tell us who counts.
