About our film set catering in Nork
Schedules move, so a contact on the day helps and we’ll adjust where we can. We’re frequently asked to cater music video shoots and unit base lunches, with pie and chips, sausage and chips and haddock and chips.
For a location shoot near Nork, base might be in a field or farmyard, so ground conditions matter. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer.
How the day works
We do not cook ahead. Fish is battered and fried when people come up to the hatch, so it’s as fresh as from any chip shop. On a winter shoot near Nork, the light goes by about 3:55pm, so the unit base needs lighting for late service. Summer shoots have daylight until about 9:20pm.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
- We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we are done.
Getting ready for the day

Haddock has loyal fans: a firmer flake and a sweeter taste. Tell us if you’d like to offer it.
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it is what most people in the south ask for. It’s battered and fried to order.

Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. Our advice:
- Plan bins and waste at base
- Send final numbers the day before
- Share the base location and route
