Film set catering for Norton events
A fish and chip van or other catering?
A full location catering unit suits long shoots with three meals a day. A chip van suits short shoots and treat days. There is no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. We set everything out in your quote.

About the food
Gravy
A pot of gravy turns chips into comfort food.
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips covers anyone who doesn’t want fish, and it’s a favourite with children.
Planning the van’s spot
The van has to be able to get in and park safely, and a little planning goes a long way. Here’s what we look for:
- A route in the van can manage, with no low branches or tight lanes
- Clear of the shot and sound
- Light near the van if needed
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

For event organisers in Norton
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan service to match. Sending people up in groups helps.
Organising a club, school or community event in Norton? A fish and chip van draws people in and almost everyone likes it. Tell us about the event and we will take it from there.
How it works
The van turns up at the agreed time, pulls onto the spot you’ve chosen. Once the oil is hot, the first portions go out at the time you asked for. Winter shoots near Norton chase the light, which goes at about 4:00pm in December, so lunch at base is frequently in daylight but a wrap meal isn’t.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check the route in and send a price.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.
How to prepare
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Plan where the queue will stand
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
