A chip van near Nursted
Film set catering for your shoot in Nursted
A van can get a crew fed quickly within the lunch break, with no kitchen needed on site. Typical bookings include end-of-shoot parties and seaside and period locations, with haddock and chips, mushy peas and pie and chips.
Near Nursted, crews may be miles from anywhere to eat, so a van at base is a big help. Food is served straight from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and service is quick once we are up and running.
What the van needs
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the spot and the way in when you contact us. Generally, we look for:
- Access checked by locations
- A queue area clear of trucks
- A level, firm spot at the unit base
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.
What we serve
- Pie and chips
- Mushy peas
- Crew lunches
- Cod and chips
- Sausage and chips

Step by step

- We agree the van’s position and arrival with the location manager.
- We set up at the unit base and fry to order for the lunch break.

Planning help

If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can hold the date.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your crew instead.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Food your guests will love
Curry sauce
Chip-shop curry sauce is a mild, slightly sweet British classic, great with chips and sausages.
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips is the go-to for anyone who isn’t a fish fan, especially with curry sauce.
