Film set catering for your shoot in Lower Green
We cater location shoots, unit bases, commercials, music videos and wrap parties. For location shoots and crew treats on long shoot days, we can cook pie and chips, cod and chips and mushy peas.
For a shoot in a place like Lower Green, tracks and soft ground need checking. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your shoot, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.

Gravy
Chips and gravy is a favourite in the north and the Midlands, and it is lovely with a pie.
Mushy peas
Proper mushy peas start with dried marrowfat peas. They’re the classic side with fish and chips.
Is a fish and chip van right for your shoot?
A wrap party at a venue costs more. A van makes a relaxed wrap. Larger groups normally cost less per head, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is typically simpler.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
