How our film set catering works in Lullington
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. We’re frequently asked to cater seaside shoots and end-of-shoot parties, serving cod and chips, sausage and chips and haddock and chips.
Near Lullington, check tracks and ground for the van with locations. Everything is fried fresh at your shoot, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet, and served the moment it comes out of the fryer.

How we price a fish and chip van for the crew
Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- How easy the site is to reach
- How many people are eating
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- Service time
Larger groups normally cost less per head, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
Details that help
Good planning starts with a few facts. Try to include:
- A photo of the space and the way in
- Allergies and diets you know about
- Expected numbers
- The address or venue name

Working with your venue

Should I sort the food myself?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is generally simpler.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.
The menu, dish by dish
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are made from dried marrowfat peas, soaked and cooked until soft. They’re the side most people expect.
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Long shoots typically need a full catering unit. A chip van suits short shoots and treat days. Got a budget? Let us know, and we will suggest a menu and timing to match. A short menu is frequently the best value.
