Film set catering in Lindford, fried fresh
Seaside and period locations suit a fish and chip van perfectly. On the menu are cod and chips, sausage and chips and haddock and chips, and we’re regularly asked to cater ad shoots and live events and broadcasts.
Near Lindford, base may be a field or yard, so ground conditions matter. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.
What comes out of the fryer
Pie and chips
A pie and chips is proper comfort food, and it’s a favourite in colder months.
Haddock and chips
Some people swear by haddock: a firmer flake and a sweeter taste. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.
Before you choose a spot
A good parking spot makes the whole thing easier. We look for:
- A route in the van can manage, with no low branches or tight lanes
- Level, firm ground at base
- Far enough from set to keep noise down
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

How we price a fish and chip van for the crew
Your quote will be clear. The main things that affect it are:
- The day of the week
- Your choice of menu
- Any minimum charge
- The length of service
There is no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. Your quote spells it all out.

- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- Where you’d like the van to go

The process
There is very little for you to do on the day: point us to the spot and get on with your shoot. The frying and serving are down to us. On a winter shoot near Lindford, the light goes by about 4:00pm, so the unit base needs lighting for late service. In summer, light lasts until about 9:20pm.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks, and how it gets in.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Before we arrive
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
- Give us a contact for the day
- Plan where the queue will stand
