A chip van near Perrywood
About our film set catering in Perrywood
A chip van is a popular crew treat on a long shoot, alongside regular catering. Whether it is commercials and music videos and crew treats on long shoot days, we can cook sausage and chips, mushy peas and cod and chips.
Rural locations near Perrywood can be a long way from food, so a van at base is a big help. We keep the menu short: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.
Planning the van’s spot
Before the day, we’ll agree where the van parks. It needs to tick a few simple boxes:
- Clear of the shot and sound
- Room for the crew to queue
- The location’s agreement
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
Popular choices
- Pie and chips
- Haddock and chips
- Crew lunches
- Sausage and chips
- Cod and chips
- Mushy peas

Distance and any road charges make a difference, so it helps to give us the postcode.

The more we know about your shoot, the better we can plan. Try to include:
- A photo of the space and the way in
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- Where you’d like the van to go
- Any dietary needs and allergies
Getting a quote is simple: share your date, address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat. We will send a clear quote that says what’s included.
How it works
Service is quick: food goes from the fryer to the hatch, and people can eat where they like. Afterwards we pack up. Light in Perrywood lasts until about 9:15pm at midsummer; for dawn calls or late wraps, plan lighting at base.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
Getting ready for the day
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
Ask for a quote
Each quote is put together for your shoot. Start with your date, and we’ll check availability straight away.

A closer look at the menu
Cod and chips
For many people, cod and chips is the definitive version. Fried to order in the van, it goes out hot and crisp.
Haddock and chips
Haddock has loyal fans: a firmer flake and a sweeter taste. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.
Allergies and dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs and allergies early, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer. To get it right:
- Flag any coeliac crew
- Ask for dietary needs on the crew info form
- Confirm allergies by email
- Arrange something for anyone with needs we cannot meet
We arrive at base in good time and set up, out of the way.
Plan bins at the unit base.
Takeaway run or book a van?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your crew instead.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
