Planning an event for a club, school or charity in North Street? Fish and chips is a reliable crowd-pleaser. Give us the details and we will suggest how it could work.
About our film set catering in North Street
Call times change, so a contact on the day helps and we’ll work around it. Whether it is location filming and crew lunches at base, we’ll put together a menu of mushy peas, sausage and chips and cod and chips and more.
Near North Street, check tracks and ground for the van with locations. You will know what’s included before you book: serving times, the menu and anything else agreed.
Should I sort the food myself?
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
Perfect for your shoot in North Street
Rain doesn’t stop the fryers, which matters on location.

- A lit spot for dark mornings or evenings
- Access checked by locations
- Far enough from set to keep noise down
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
