Film set catering in Peasemore, fried fresh
On a long shoot day, a good hot lunch keeps morale up. A fish and chip van parks at the unit base and fries to order. Popular choices include cod and chips, pie and chips and haddock and chips, and we’re frequently booked for crew treats on long shoot days and period dramas on location.
Rural locations near Peasemore can be a long way from food, so lunch at base matters. We serve from the hatch, so it’s hot and generous, and the queue keeps moving.

What paperwork do you provide?
Productions vary, so ask your production office for the list.

What else we do in Peasemore
The process
Serving is straightforward: everything is handed over hot from the hatch, and people can eat where they like. When service is finished, we pack up and leave the pitch tidy. On a winter shoot near Peasemore, the light goes by about 4:00pm, so the unit base needs lighting for late service. Summer shoots have daylight until about 9:25pm.
- The production office sends us the location, dates, numbers and lunch time.
- 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.
- We pack up straight after service and leave the base tidy.
How to prepare
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Get permission for the van from the venue
