About our film set catering in Golden Green
Shoot days are long, and a hot lunch on time matters. A fish and chip van parks at the unit base and fries to order. Typical bookings include commercials and music videos and location filming, serving sausage and chips, mushy peas and cod and chips.
Near Golden Green, crews may be miles from anywhere to eat, so lunch at base matters. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we will be straight with you about what we can do before booking.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.
How the day works
We need time before service to bring the fryers up to heat, so we are there in good time before you want to eat. At midsummer, Golden Green has light until about 9:20pm.
- We start with a few details about your shoot.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for the crew.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.
Before we arrive
- Keep space clear for crew at the hatch
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Clear the route for the van
