Film set catering in Lee Gate, fried fresh
We work with your location manager or production office on access, parking and timings. We are frequently asked to cater location filming and photo shoots, with pie and chips, haddock and chips and cod and chips.
For a shoot in a place like Lee Gate, tracks and soft ground need checking with locations. 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.

- Numbers
- Any minimum charge
- How easy the site is to reach
Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is frequently good value, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. Ask us for a quote.
What we need to know
To speed things up, tell us:
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- Roughly how many people, including children
- The address or venue name
- Anything awkward about the way in
Most quotes start with a few simple details: the date, where the van would park, roughly how many people and when you’d like to eat. To send them, fill in our quote form.
Should I sort the food myself?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
Where the van can park in Lee Gate
Most drives, car parks, yards and firm lawns can take the van, but a few things matter:
- Away from the shooting area’s sound
- Access checked by locations
- A level, firm spot at the unit base
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
What we serve

A fish and chip van or other catering?
Takeaway rarely reaches a location hot. A van cooks at the unit base. Most vans have a minimum charge, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. Ask us what applies to your shoot.
