Film set catering for Nash Street events
How our film set catering works in Nash Street
Seaside and period locations suit a fish and chip van perfectly. Whether it is event crews and location filming, we’ll put together a menu of haddock and chips, pie and chips and sausage and chips and more.
Near Nash Street, crews may be miles from anywhere to eat, so a van at base is a big help. Food is served straight from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and the queue keeps moving.
The process
You do not need to do much on the day: point us to the spot and get on with your shoot. We handle the cooking and serving. At midsummer, Nash Street has light until about 9:20pm, while by late September it is nearer 7:00pm.
- We start with the location, call times and crew numbers.
- We check the route and the unit base and send a price.
- We arrange the van’s spot at the unit base with locations.
- We serve hot from the hatch when lunch is called.
- We clear up and get out of the way.
How to prepare
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is normally the easier option.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
Where the van can park in Nash Street
We will agree the van’s spot with you before the day. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- Permission for the van at base
- Space in front of the hatch
- Away from the shooting area’s sound
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.
On the menu in Nash Street
- Mushy peas
- Sausage and chips
- Pie and chips
- Crew lunches

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Wrap parties add up. A van keeps it relaxed and simple. Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. We’ll tell you up front.
