Fresh fish and chips in Loxhill
Film set catering for your shoot in Loxhill
The van needs level, firm ground at the unit base, and a clear route in. Whether it’s period dramas on location and outside broadcasts, we’ll put together a menu of sausage and chips, mushy peas and cod and chips for your guests.
For a shoot in a place like Loxhill, tracks and soft ground need checking. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet, and handed over as soon as it’s ready.
Is a fish and chip van right for your shoot?
Next to a sandwich lunch, a chip van gives the crew a proper hot meal. Larger groups typically cost less per head, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Give us your numbers and we will quote.
Why us?
- We cook inside the van, whatever the weather
- All the chip-shop extras
- No kitchen needed
- Served hot, straight from the hatch

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is normally the easier option.
