About our film set catering in Foxendown
Fried-to-order service suits a lunch break, with no kitchen needed on site. For crew treats on long shoot days and photo shoots, we can cook cod and chips, haddock and chips and sausage and chips for your guests.

How we price a fish and chip van for the crew
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, because of:
- How long we serve
- How far we travel
- Cod, haddock or both
- Whether a minimum applies
If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we will suggest a menu and timing to match. A short menu is often the best value.
Details that help
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what to include:
- A photo of the space and the way in
- Allergies and diets you know about
- The spot you have in mind for the van
- Your date and serving time
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: where the van would park, how to get in, numbers and timings. A photo of the spot helps too. To send your details, fill in our quote form.
Working with your venue
