About our film set catering in Madley Park
We need a level, firm spot at base, and a route the van can manage. We are frequently asked to cater seaside shoots and live events and broadcasts, serving mushy peas, pie and chips and haddock and chips.
Shoots around Madley Park frequently use houses, farms and lanes. Let us know about access. 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 is ready.

How the day works
Nothing gathers a crowd like the smell of fish and chips. Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, and chips are fried in batches through service. In December, daylight in Madley Park ends around 3:55pm, so a late lunch or wrap at base needs lighting. In summer, light lasts until about 9:30pm.
- Get in touch with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- A photo of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for the crew.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
How to prepare
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Make sure the van can get in
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day

Big or small, the van works the same way. Common bookings include:

Nearby historic houses include Minster Lovell Hall (2.9 miles west). Period locations like these typically keep vehicles well away from the house, so agree the base early.

About the food
Curry sauce
The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, perfect with chips or a sausage.
Haddock and chips
Haddock has loyal fans: a firmer flake and a sweeter taste. Tell us if you’d like to offer it.
Takeaway run or book a van?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is generally simpler.
