A chip van near Nutley
How our film set catering works in Nutley
Schedules move, so give us a contact on the day and we will work around it. For outside broadcasts and unit base lunches, we can cook cod and chips, haddock and chips and mushy peas for your guests.
Rural locations near Nutley can be a long way from food, so lunch at base matters. We bring the van and everything we need to cook, and we leave the pitch tidy when we go.

A fish and chip van or other catering?
Ordering takeaway to a location is unreliable. A van cooks at the unit base. A chip van often compares well with a plated meal, as there’s no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. Ask us for a quote.
Why us?
- No surprises in your quote
- Classic food your crew already know
- Rain does not stop the fryers
- The queue at the hatch gets people talking

Step by step
Nothing is cooked before it is needed. Each portion is battered and fried as it’s ordered, so it is as fresh as from any chip shop. Long summer days in Nutley, with light until about 9:20pm, suit evening wraps outdoors.
- We start with the location, call times and crew numbers.
- We check the route and the unit base and send a price.
- Parking and arrival are agreed with locations.
- We set up at the unit base and fry to order for the lunch break.
- Afterwards we pack up and leave the unit base clean.
Getting ready for the day
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Plan where the queue will stand
- Make sure the van can get in
