About our film set catering in North Camp
We cater location shoots, unit bases, commercials, music videos and wrap parties. For live events and broadcasts and treat days on a long shoot, we can cook sausage and chips, haddock and chips and pie and chips and more.
Shoots around North Camp often use houses, farms and lanes. Let us know about access. We keep the menu short: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.
Looking after everyone
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. We suggest:
- Arrange something for anyone with needs we can’t meet
- Send allergies to us in writing
- Give us a map or what3words for base
- Update numbers if they change
A short menu keeps the line moving.
A gazebo by the van keeps the line dry.
What the van needs
The right spot keeps everyone safe and the service smooth. We look for:
- Agreement from the location manager and landowner
- A level, firm spot at the unit base
- Clear of the shot and sound
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Takeaway run or book a van?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the shoot.
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Working with your venue
Planning an event for a club, school or charity in North Camp? Fish and chips is a reliable crowd-pleaser. Tell us about the event and we’ll take it from there.
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan service to match. Sending people up in groups helps.
How we price a fish and chip van for the crew
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, depending on:
- How long we serve
- The menu and how many choices
- Numbers
- The day of the week
Larger groups usually cost less per head, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.
Getting an accurate quote
Good planning starts with a few facts. Please include:
- Anything awkward about the way in
- The date and time of the event
- Expected numbers
- The address or venue name
