About our film set catering in Northend
A chip van is a popular crew treat on a long shoot. We serve haddock and chips, cod and chips and pie and chips, and we are frequently booked for fashion shoots on location and location filming.
Near Northend, check tracks and ground for the van. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your shoot, so the batter is still crisp when it’s handed over.

What a fish and chip van costs
Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- The date and time of year
- The menu and how many choices
- Distance and any road charges
- Numbers
Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. We set everything out in your quote.
What to tell us
The more we know about your shoot, the better we can plan. Try to include:
- The spot you have in mind for the van
- A picture of where the van would go
- Anything awkward about the way in
- Expected numbers
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many people, plus when you’d like to eat, and you will get a clear price. Just send us your details through our quote form.
A closer look at the menu
Haddock and chips
Some people swear by haddock: a firmer flake and a sweeter taste. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are made from dried marrowfat peas, soaked and cooked until soft. They’re the classic side with fish and chips.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. We are happy to send a quote so you can compare.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the shoot.

Step by step
Serving is straightforward: food goes from the fryer to the hatch. When service is finished, we pack up and leave the pitch tidy. Long summer days in Northend, with light until about 9:25pm, suit evening wraps outdoors.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for the crew.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Before we arrive
- Plan where the queue will stand
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
