Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
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.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. 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.
Diets, allergies and planning
Tell us about dietary needs and allergies early, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible. To make it work smoothly:
- Give us a contact for call-time changes
- Send allergies to us in writing
- Arrange something for anyone with needs we cannot meet
- Plan bins and waste at base
Supporting artists and visitors can be included in numbers.
Bins at base keep the location clean.
A fish and chip van or other catering?
Compared with sandwiches on set, hot fish and chips is a real lunch. Cost depends on numbers, menu and service time, along with distance and access to the site. We quote for each booking individually.

Food your guests will love
Curry sauce

Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it is what most people in the south ask for. We batter it and fry it to order.
How it works
The van needs a level, firm spot it can drive onto, near your crew, which we agree with you beforehand. On a winter shoot near Kentsboro, the light goes by about 4:00pm, so the unit base needs lighting for late service. In summer, light lasts until about 9:25pm.
