How our film set catering works in Inhurst
On a long job, a chip van day is a morale boost, alongside regular catering. We’re often asked to cater event crews and unit base lunches, serving haddock and chips, sausage and chips and pie and chips.
Near Inhurst, crews may be miles from anywhere to eat, so lunch at base matters. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer before you book.

Step by step
Rain doesn’t stop the fryers, because the cooking happens inside the van. It is worth thinking about cover for the queue, though. At midsummer, Inhurst has light until about 9:25pm, while by late September it’s nearer 7:10pm.
- Contact us with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- Show us where the van would go, and we’ll confirm it works.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for the crew.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
How to prepare
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Let us know the serving time
- Give us a contact for the day
