Film set catering in Halton, cooked to order
Fried-to-order service suits a lunch break, with no kitchen needed on site. For outside broadcasts and fashion shoots on location, we can cook pie and chips, sausage and chips and mushy peas for your guests.
Rural locations near Halton can be a long way from food, so a van at base is a big help. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your shoot, so the batter is still crisp when it’s handed over.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
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 cooks in front of your crew instead.
How it works
Serving is straightforward: everything is handed over hot from the hatch, and people can eat where they like. Afterwards we pack up. Light in Halton lasts until about 9:25pm at midsummer; for early or late service, base needs lighting.
- We start with the location, call times and crew numbers.
- You get an access check and a quote.
- We agree the van’s position and arrival with the location manager.
- We serve hot from the hatch when lunch is called.
- We clear up and get out of the way.
How to prepare
- Give us a contact for the day
- Get permission for the van from the venue
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
