Film set catering in Horn Hill, fried fresh
The van needs level, firm ground at the unit base, and a route the van can manage. On the menu are sausage and chips, mushy peas and haddock and chips, and we’re often booked for unit base lunches and commercials and music videos.
Near Horn Hill, check tracks and ground for the van. We serve from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and service is quick once we are up and running.

Prices and what affects them
The same numbers can mean different prices, because of:
- Access and parking
- The menu and how many choices
- How long we serve
- How many people are eating
Larger groups typically cost less per head, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.
Details that help
When you contact us, it helps to tell us:
- Dietary needs, with numbers
- A picture of where the van would go
- Where you’d like the van to go
- Rough numbers for adults and children
The quickest way to a quote is to fill in our quote form. Tell us about your shoot in Horn Hill, and we’ll come back with availability and a quote.
Takeaway run or book a van?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
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.
A fish and chip van or other catering?
A wrap party at a venue costs more. A van makes a relaxed wrap. A chip van often compares well with a plated meal, as there is no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. We’ll send you a quote.
Why Horn Hill hosts choose us
- Rain doesn’t stop the fryers
- A menu almost everyone likes
- A clear quote before booking
- All the chip-shop extras
What happens on the day
Serving is straightforward: everything is handed over hot from the hatch, and people can eat where they like. Afterwards we pack up. Winter shoots near Horn Hill chase the light, which goes at about 3:55pm in December, so lunch at base is often in daylight but a wrap meal isn’t.
- It starts with the unit base, dates and numbers.
- We check the route and the unit base and send a price.
- We arrange the van’s spot at the unit base with locations.
- We set up at the unit base and fry to order for the lunch break.
- Afterwards we pack up and leave the unit base clean.
Before we arrive
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Have a level parking spot ready
