A chip van near Keeper's Corner
Film set catering for your shoot in Keeper's Corner
We need a level, firm spot at base, and a route the van can manage. We are frequently asked to cater end-of-shoot parties and seaside shoots, serving pie and chips, haddock and chips and mushy peas.
For a shoot in a place like Keeper's Corner, tracks and soft ground need checking. You’ll know what’s included before booking: serving times, the menu and anything else agreed, with no surprises on the day.

- A lit spot for dark mornings or evenings
- Agreement from the location manager and landowner
- A level, firm spot at the unit base
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.

A fish and chip van or other catering?
Ordering takeaway to a location is unreliable. The van cooks on site. Larger groups normally cost less per head, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.

Working with your venue
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
Venues frequently have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Tell us what your venue needs and we will confirm what we can provide.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the shoot.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your crew instead.

Pie and chips
For a heartier option, there’s pie and chips, perfect with gravy.
How we price a fish and chip van for the crew
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, because of:
- The day of the week
- How many people are eating
- Access and parking
- How long we serve
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. Your quote spells it all out.
What to tell us
The more we know about your shoot, the better we can plan. Please include:
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- The spot you have in mind for the van
- The date and time of the event
- A picture of where the van would go
Every booking is quoted individually, so the price fits what you actually need. To ask for one, use our quote form.
