About our film set catering in Furzeley Corner
Seaside and period locations suit a fish and chip van perfectly. We serve haddock and chips, sausage and chips and cod and chips, and typical bookings are for crew treats on long shoot days and ad shoots.
For a shoot in a place like Furzeley Corner, tracks and soft ground need checking with locations. Everything is fried fresh at your shoot, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We are happy to send a quote so you can compare.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your crew instead.
Step by step
The first sign we have arrived is typically the smell. After that, it is a steady flow to the hatch. Winter shoots near Furzeley Corner chase the light, which goes at about 4:00pm in December, so lunch at base is often in daylight but a wrap meal isn’t.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check the route in and send a price.
- 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 are done.
Preparing for the day
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Make sure the van can get in
