Film set catering for your shoot in Northbridge Street
On a long shoot day, a good hot lunch keeps morale up. We park at the unit base and cook to order. We are frequently asked to cater fashion shoots on location and commercials and music videos, serving pie and chips, cod and chips and haddock and chips.
Rural locations near Northbridge Street can be a long way from food, so lunch at base matters. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, not cooked earlier and kept warm, and handed over as soon as it’s ready.

Before you choose a spot
Most drives, car parks, yards and firm lawns can take the van, but a few things matter:
- Space in front of the hatch
- Clear of the shot and sound
- Level, firm ground at base
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.
From the hatch
- Mushy peas
- Pie and chips
- Cod and chips
- Crew lunches
- Sausage and chips
- Haddock and chips
The process
Your timings come first. If the day runs behind, we simply start frying a little later, so nothing is cooked before it’s needed. On a winter shoot near Northbridge Street, the light goes by about 3:55pm, so a late lunch or wrap at base needs lighting. In summer, light lasts until about 9:15pm.
- First, tell us about your shoot.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for the crew.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.
How to prepare
- Get permission for the van from the venue
- Name one person we can call on the day
- Ensure the van can get in
How to get a price
We only need a few details to quote: the date, where the van would park, roughly how many people and when you’d like to eat. To send them, use our quote form.

Prices and what affects them
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, depending on:
- Distance and any road charges
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- The menu and how many choices
- Access and parking
The cost per head generally falls as numbers rise, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we will quote.
Getting an accurate quote
For a quote, it helps to have:
- The spot you have in mind for the van
- The address or venue name
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- Expected numbers
We quote for each event separately, based on your numbers, timings and travel. For a quote, send us your details through our quote form.

- Name a contact in the production office
- Confirm numbers the day before
- Plan an alternative for anyone we can’t cater for
- Plan bins and waste at base
Lunch is planned around the call sheet, and a contact keeps us updated.
Cover near the hatch helps on wet days.
Northbridge Street questions
How far is Northbridge Street from London?
About 43 miles from central London.
Is Northbridge Street too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Can you cater for allergies?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Tell us about allergies in advance.
Is the food cooked at the event?
It is. The fryers are in the van, so it’s fried on the spot, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
Can you cook in the rain?
Rain does not stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. It’s worth planning some cover for the queue.
Can you work to the call sheet?
We expect changes. Keep us updated and we’ll adapt.
Do you cater wrap parties?
We do. It’s a great way to end a shoot.
Is there a non-fish option?
There is: sausages and pies, with chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
Should I sort the food myself?
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 is crisp.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Planners, venues and businesses
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan service to match. Staggering groups helps a lot.
Parks, greens and streets usually need permission for a catering van. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
