Fresh fish and chips in Oad Street
Film set catering in Oad Street, fried fresh
On a long shoot day, a good hot lunch keeps morale up. We park at the unit base and cook to order. We serve haddock and chips, mushy peas and sausage and chips, and we’re frequently booked for fashion shoots on location and crew morale days.
Rural locations near Oad Street can be a long way from food, so lunch at base matters. Everything is fried fresh at your shoot, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet.
A chip van compared with other options
Some locations have nowhere to buy food. A van brings lunch to base. When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: hours, menu, travel, minimum charge and VAT. Our quotes spell it all out.
Why Oad Street hosts choose us
- No kitchen needed
- Rain doesn’t stop the fryers
- Quick service from the hatch

- Add an allergy question to crew forms

After service, we pack up and get out of the way.
A chip van wrap party is a great way to finish a shoot.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your crew instead.
