Film set catering for your shoot in Goose Green
Fried-to-order service suits a lunch break, without needing a kitchen on location. Popular choices include cod and chips, pie and chips and mushy peas, and we’re regularly asked to cater wrap celebrations and crew lunches at base.
Near Goose Green, crews may be miles from anywhere to eat, so lunch at base matters. The menu is short on purpose: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.

How it works
Nothing gathers a crowd like the smell of fish and chips. Each piece of fish is battered and fried to order, with chips cooked in batches as the queue moves. In December, daylight in Goose Green ends around 3:55pm, so the unit base needs lighting for late service. In summer, light lasts until about 9:20pm.

Takeaway run or book a van?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.

A closer look at the menu
Pie and chips
Pie and chips is hearty and filling, and it’s especially welcome on a cold day.
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips is the go-to for anyone who is not a fish fan, especially with curry sauce.
Prices and what affects them
The same numbers can mean different prices, depending on:
- The date and time of year
- Access and parking
- Any minimum charge
- The length of service
There is no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. Your quote spells it all out.
Details that help
You don’t need everything decided to ask for a quote, but it helps to know:
- Dietary needs, with numbers
- A picture of the space and the way in
- Anything awkward about the way in
- Where the van would park
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: the parking spot, access, numbers and serving time. A photo of the spot helps too. To send your details, fill in our quote form.
Planners, venues and businesses
For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can hold the date.
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan service to match. Staggering groups helps a lot.
