Film set catering in Nag's Head, cooked to order
The van needs level, firm ground at the unit base, and a route the van can manage. Whether it is seaside shoots and location shoots, we can cook mushy peas, haddock and chips and cod and chips for your guests.
In Nag's Head, unit bases are frequently in car parks or yards. Locations will have the parking arrangements, often with council permission. You will know what’s included before booking: serving times, the menu and anything else agreed, with no surprises on the day.

Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is typically the easier option.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
Nag's Head: your questions answered
What’s the nearest station to Nag's Head?
The closest is Drayton Park station, roughly 0.6 miles away.
What about parking in Nag's Head?
London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We will plan around it.
Can you serve children?
Yes. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Tell us how many are coming.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes. Everything is fried fresh in the van, then handed over hot from the hatch.
How long are you on site?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
Who clears up?
The pitch is left as we found it. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
What’s on the menu?
Fish and chips, of course, with sausages and pies for anyone who does not want fish. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
Can you feed visitors on set?
Of course. Let us know total numbers.
What happens on the day
We get there well before service, set up and bring the oil up to temperature. Your crew can wander over to the hatch once service starts. Winter shoots near Nag's Head chase the light, which goes at about 3:55pm in December, so lunch at base is frequently in daylight but a wrap meal is not.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check the route in and send a price.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.
Preparing for the day
- Make sure the van can get in
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
- Share the timings for the day
How to get a price
It is easy to get a price: share your date, address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat. We will send a clear quote that says what’s included.

About the food
Gravy
Chips and gravy is a favourite in the north and the Midlands, and it goes perfectly with a pie.
Curry sauce
Some people will not eat chips without curry sauce and it is on the menu.
For event organisers in Nag's Head
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
Parks, greens and streets normally need permission for a catering van. Ask the council or landowner early.
Planning the van’s spot
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the spot and the way in before we confirm. In general, we need:
- Light near the van if needed
- A hardstanding spot at the unit base
- Access checked by locations
Nag's Head is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: let us know about off-street space or permits.
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
