Film set catering in Lucas Green, fried fresh
A van can get a crew fed quickly within the lunch break, with no kitchen needed on site. We serve cod and chips, mushy peas and sausage and chips, and we’re regularly asked to cater photo shoots and location filming.
Near Lucas Green, check tracks and ground for the van with locations. Food is served straight from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and the queue keeps moving.
The process
We arrive on time, parks where we agreed. Once the oil is hot, the first portions go out at the time you asked for. On a winter shoot near Lucas Green, the light goes by about 3:55pm, so the unit base needs lighting for late service. Summer shoots have daylight until about 9:20pm.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we are done.
Before we arrive
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
- Confirm the van is allowed on site

- A lit spot for dark mornings or evenings
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
