Film set catering in Linchmere
Takeaway run or book a van?
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
How our film set catering works in Linchmere
Seaside and period locations suit a fish and chip van perfectly. We serve mushy peas, cod and chips and pie and chips, and we’re frequently booked for unit base lunches and wrap celebrations.
For a shoot in a place like Linchmere, tracks and soft ground need checking with locations. Your quote spells out what’s included: the date, the service time and the menu.

Step by step
The van turns up at the agreed time, pulls onto the spot you’ve chosen and the hatch goes up. Once the oil is hot, the first portions go out at the time you asked for. Daylight is short on winter shoots near Linchmere: sunset is about 4:00pm, so lunch at base is frequently in daylight but a wrap meal is not.
- It starts with the unit base, dates and numbers.
- We check access and send a quote.
- We agree the van’s position and arrival with the location manager.
- We serve hot from the hatch when lunch is called.
- We clear up and get out of the way.
Before we arrive
- Plan where the queue will stand
- Name one person we can call on the day
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
