Fresh fish and chips in Haine
About our film set catering in Haine
The van needs level, firm ground at the unit base, and a clear route in. Typical bookings include wrap celebrations and location filming, serving sausage and chips, haddock and chips and pie and chips.
Rural locations near Haine can be a long way from food, so a van at base is a big help. We keep the menu short: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.
Haine questions
Can you serve near the sea around Haine?
Yes, of course. Wind does not affect the fryers, but plan a sheltered spot for the queue.
Do you come out to small places like Haine?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Do you need power or water?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Mention any power or water available and we will confirm the rest.
Do you cater wrap parties?
Yes, it is a popular wrap. Send us the date and place.
Is there a non-fish option?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Tell us about other diets and we will be honest about what’s possible.
What’s on the menu?
The classics: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
Can you park at the unit base?
Usually, if there’s level, firm ground. We will agree the spot with your location manager.
How much is fish and chip van hire?
We quote for each booking, based on your numbers and timings. Tell us your date and rough numbers and we’ll reply with a price.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
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.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.

How the day works
The first sign we have arrived is generally the smell. After that, it’s a steady flow to the hatch. On a winter shoot near Haine, the light goes by about 3:50pm, so the unit base needs lighting for late service. In summer, light lasts until about 9:15pm.
- First, tell us about your shoot.
- You get an availability check and a clear 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.
Preparing for the day
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Name one person we can call on the day
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
How to get a price
Each quote is put together for your shoot. Give us your date first, and we’ll check availability right away.

Sausage and chips covers anyone who doesn’t want fish, and it’s a favourite with children.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
A wrap party at a venue costs more. A van keeps it relaxed and simple. Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. We set everything out in your quote.
Why book with us
- We cook inside the van, whatever the weather
- A van that becomes part of the event
- No kitchen needed
- Everything cooked to order at your event
