Fresh fish and chips in Monxton
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your crew instead.
Film set catering for your shoot in Monxton
Location shoots, commercials and wrap parties all suit a chip van. For end-of-shoot parties and shoots on location, we’ll put together a menu of haddock and chips, pie and chips and sausage and chips.
For a shoot in a place like Monxton, tracks and soft ground need checking with locations. We bring the van and everything we need to cook, and we leave the pitch tidy when we go.
Allergies and dietary needs
Most events have a few crew with dietary needs. To plan for them:
- Tell us about coeliac crew specifically
- Update numbers if they change
- Name a contact in the production office
- Agree how the base is left
We clear up quickly after lunch.
A quick pre-order speeds things up.
Planning the van’s spot
Most drives, car parks, yards and firm lawns can take the van, but there are a few things to check:
- A level, firm spot at the unit base
- Far enough from set to keep noise down
- Lighting for early or late service
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
