Film set catering for your shoot in Neatham
We need a level, firm spot at base, and a clear route in. Whether it is wrap celebrations and seaside shoots, we’ll put together a menu of mushy peas, haddock and chips and sausage and chips and more.
Rural locations near Neatham can be a long way from food, so lunch at base matters. You will know what’s included before you book: serving times, the menu and anything else agreed.

Service is quick: everything is handed over hot from the hatch, and people can eat where they like. Afterwards we pack up. Sunset in Neatham is about 8:55pm in late May, 9:20pm at midsummer and 7:05pm in late September; for early or late service, base needs lighting.

For planners, venues and organisers
If you’re booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we’ll explain how it works. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
Venues frequently have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll work through them with you.
Should I sort the food myself?
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. 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.
Allergies and dietary needs
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. We suggest:
- Send allergies to us in writing
- Name a contact in the production office
- Collect diets and allergies with crew details
- Update numbers if they change
Fewer choices mean faster service.
End the shoot with a chip van wrap.
About the food
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. It’s the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.
Cod and chips
For many people, cod and chips is the definitive version. Cooked fresh at the hatch, it is hot, crisp and generous.
A fish and chip van or other catering?
For a crew lunch people will remember, a chip van is hard to beat in Neatham. Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so it helps to give us the postcode.
Why us?
- No kitchen, no crockery, no washing up
- Hot food handed straight over
- A van that becomes part of the event
- No surprises in your quote
What the van needs
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the spot and the way in when you get in touch. In general, we need:
- Room for the crew to queue
- A hardstanding spot at the unit base
- A lit spot for dark mornings or evenings
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.
