How our film set catering works in Gillette Corner
Food is fried to order, so lunch is hot and fresh. Whether it’s music video shoots and seaside shoots, we can cook mushy peas, haddock and chips and sausage and chips for your guests.
In Gillette Corner, access to base can be tight, so send us the route and restrictions. We cook inside the van, right where your crew are, so the batter is still crisp when it is handed over.

Prices and what affects them
Your quote will be clear. What affects it most:
- Any minimum charge
- The date and time of year
- Service time
- How far we travel
Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. We’ll tell you up front.
Details that help
To speed things up, tell us:
- Roughly how many people, including children
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
- The venue or postcode
- The date and time of the event
It’s easy to get a price: share your date, address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat. We will send a clear quote that says what’s included.
The process
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. In December, daylight in Gillette Corner ends around 3:55pm, so a late lunch or wrap at base needs lighting. Summer shoots have daylight until about 9:20pm.
- The production office sends us the location, dates, numbers and lunch time.
- We check access and send a quote.
- Parking and arrival are agreed with locations.
- We cook to order through the crew’s lunch break.
- We clear up and get out of the way.
How to prepare
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Plan where the queue will stand
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day

Curry sauce
The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, great with chips and sausages.

Parks, greens and streets usually need permission for a catering van. Ask the council or landowner early.
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Tell us what your venue needs and we will work through them with you.
