About our film set catering in Milford
Locations and the production office can deal with us directly. Whether it is crew lunches at base and ad shoots, we’ll put together a menu of cod and chips, haddock and chips and mushy peas for your guests.
Around Milford, locations can be rural. Let us know about access. We serve from the hatch, so it is hot and generous, and the queue keeps moving.
What affects the price in Milford
These are the factors that matter most:
- The day of the week
- The number of meals
- Service time
- How far we travel
Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. Ask us what applies to your shoot.
Details that help
These details help us quote quickly:
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground

Step by step
We arrive in good time before you want to eat, park the van and get the fryers going. Crew typically gather round the hatch as soon as we open. In December, daylight in Milford ends around 3:55pm, so the unit base needs lighting for late service. In summer, light lasts until about 9:20pm.
- We start with a few details about your shoot.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for the crew.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.
How to prepare
- Let us know the serving time
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
- Have a level parking spot ready

The menu, dish by dish
Curry sauce
Some people will not eat chips without curry sauce, so we bring it along.
Cod and chips
Cod and chips is the meal most people picture when they think of a chip shop. Fried to order in the van, it is hot, crisp and generous.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is typically simpler.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the shoot.
