About our film set catering in Goodworth Clatford
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. We’re frequently asked to cater commercials and music videos and crew treats on long shoot days, with cod and chips, sausage and chips and pie and chips.
Near Goodworth Clatford, check tracks and ground for the van. Food is served straight from the hatch, so it’s hot and generous, and service is quick once we are up and running.
Should I sort the food myself?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is generally simpler.
A fish and chip van or other catering?
Long shoots usually need a full catering unit. A chip van suits short shoots and treat days. Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. We set everything out in your quote.
