How our film set catering works in Froyle
Location shoots, commercials and wrap parties all suit a chip van. For seaside and period locations and live events and broadcasts, we can cook pie and chips, cod and chips and haddock and chips for your guests.
Rural locations near Froyle can be a long way from food, so lunch at base matters. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.
Takeaway run or book a van?
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is typically the easier option.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it is fried on the spot.

What comes out of the fryer
Mushy peas
No fish and chips is complete without mushy peas for many people, and they’re on the menu.
Haddock and chips
Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. It’s the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.
Planning for dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Share the base location and route
- Plan an alternative for anyone we cannot cater for
- Add an allergy question to crew forms
- Name a contact in the production office
We arrive at base in good time and set up.
A dining area at base helps.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
For a crew lunch people will remember, a fish and chip van is a great choice in Froyle. Larger groups generally cost less per head, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
Why book with us
- Hot food handed straight over
- A clear quote before booking
- We cook inside the van, whatever the weather
- Everything cooked to order at your event
What the van needs
A fish and chip van is a vehicle, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way. Here’s what we look for:
- A clear route to base
- Away from the shooting area’s sound
- A queue area clear of trucks
Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
What we serve
- Cod and chips

The process
From set-up to the last portion, we look after the food, so you can get on with your shoot in Froyle. In December, daylight in Froyle ends around 4:00pm, so a late lunch or wrap at base needs lighting. Summer shoots have daylight until about 9:20pm.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive in good time to set up.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we’re done.
How to prepare
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
- Clear the route for the van
- Give us a contact for the day
