About our film set catering in Goring-by-Sea
On a long shoot day, a good hot lunch keeps morale up. A fish and chip van parks at the unit base and fries to order. On the menu are haddock and chips, mushy peas and sausage and chips, and we are regularly asked to cater crew lunches at base and crew morale days.
For a location shoot near Goring-by-Sea, base might be in a field or farmyard. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your shoot, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.

Takeaway run or book a van?
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 is crisp.
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 solves that by cooking on site.

Whether your shoot is on Sea Lane, Jupp's Lane and Goring Road or a nearby road, we can park up and fry there.

About the food

Is a fish and chip van right for your shoot?
