Film set catering for Littleton Common events
About our film set catering in Littleton Common
On a long shoot day, a good hot lunch keeps morale up. A fish and chip van parks at the unit base and fries to order. Typical bookings include seaside shoots and shoots on location, with cod and chips, pie and chips and mushy peas.
For a shoot in a place like Littleton Common, tracks and soft ground need checking with locations. Your quote spells out what’s included: serving times, the menu and anything else agreed.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Takeaway rarely reaches a location hot. A van cooks at the unit base. Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. Ask us what applies to your shoot.

Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips covers anyone who does not want fish, and children love it.
Mushy peas
Proper mushy peas start with dried marrowfat peas. They’re the classic side with fish and chips.
How the day works
The van needs a level, firm spot it can drive onto, close to where people will eat, which we agree with you beforehand. In December, daylight in Littleton Common ends around 3:55pm, so the unit base needs lighting for late service. Summer shoots have daylight until about 9:20pm.
- Get in touch with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- Show us where the van would go, and we’ll confirm it works.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for the crew.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
How to prepare
- Get permission for the van from the venue
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Plan where the queue will stand
