About our film set catering in Nuptown
Shoot days are long, and a hot lunch on time matters. A fish and chip van parks at the unit base and fries to order. We are frequently asked to cater seaside and period locations and ad shoots, serving mushy peas, cod and chips and haddock and chips.
Near Nuptown, crews may be miles from anywhere to eat, so lunch at base matters. You’ll know what’s included before booking: serving times, the menu and anything else agreed.

Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is usually the easier option.
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. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
Why choose film set catering in Nuptown?
It needs no kitchen on location, just a spot at the unit base.
Almost any gathering works with a fish and chip van. People in Nuptown book the van for occasions like:
- Outside broadcasts
- Commercials and music videos
- End-of-shoot parties
- Period dramas on location
Nuptown is roughly 27 miles from central London.

In the north and the Midlands, gravy is the side of choice, and it is lovely with a pie.
Curry sauce
The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, great with chips and sausages.

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.

Planning for dietary needs

- Send the unit base address and directions
- Agree how the base is left

The process
We need time before service to bring the fryers up to heat, so we’re there in good time before you want to eat. Winter shoots near Nuptown chase the light, which goes at about 3:55pm in December, so lunch at base is frequently in daylight but a wrap meal isn’t.
- Get in touch with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for the crew.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Before we arrive
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Ensure the van can get in
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
