How our film set catering works in Lower Burgate
Call times change, so give us a contact on the day and we will work around it. Whether it’s commercials and music videos and event crews, we can cook cod and chips, mushy peas and sausage and chips and more.
Near Lower Burgate, crews may be miles from anywhere to eat, so lunch at base matters. Food is served straight from the hatch, so it is hot and generous, and the queue keeps moving.
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 cooks in front of your crew instead.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
A fish and chip van or other catering?
Compared with sandwiches on set, hot fish and chips is a real lunch. 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.
What you get with us
- A quote that spells everything out
- No kitchen needed
- The queue at the hatch gets people talking
- Rain does not stop the fryers
