Film set catering for your shoot in Greenhill
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 are frequently asked to cater unit base lunches and crew morale days, serving haddock and chips, sausage and chips and cod and chips.
Shoots in Greenhill frequently use streets, yards and car parks as unit bases. The location manager will arrange the van’s spot, frequently with council permission. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet, and handed over as soon as it is ready.

Step by step
On the day, we position the van, set up the hatch and get the fryers up to temperature. Once we’re hot, we cook to order, so we time it to your schedule. Daylight is short on winter shoots near Greenhill: sunset is about 3:55pm, so lunch at base is often in daylight but a wrap meal is not.
- Contact us with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for the crew.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Preparing for the day
- Name one person we can call on the day
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
