A chip van near Hale Street
Film set catering in Hale Street, cooked to order
Fried-to-order service suits a lunch break, with no kitchen needed on site. Whether it is commercials and music videos and location filming, we can cook sausage and chips, haddock and chips and pie and chips.
Near Hale Street, crews may be miles from anywhere to eat, so lunch at base matters. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. Ask us for a quote and compare.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the shoot.
Working with your venue
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can hold the date.
Many venues set rules for catering vans: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
