Film set catering for Pixham events

How our film set catering works in Pixham

We work with your location manager or production office on access, parking and timings. For end-of-shoot parties and fashion shoots on location, we can cook haddock and chips, pie and chips and sausage and chips and more.

Near Pixham, crews may be miles from anywhere to eat, so lunch at base matters. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet, and served the moment it comes out of the fryer.

Diets, allergies and planning

Nearly every event has some special diets. To plan for them:

  • Give us a contact for call-time changes
  • Send allergies to us in writing
  • Agree the waste plan with locations
  • Update numbers if they change

After service, we pack up and get out of the way.

A dining area at base helps.

A closer look at the menu

Sausage and chips

A sausage and chips is the chip-shop classic for younger crew and fish-dodgers.

Cod and chips

Cod and chips is the meal most people picture when they think of a chip shop. Cooked fresh at the hatch, it is hot, crisp and generous.

Planning the van’s spot

Every site is different, so we’ll ask about yours before we confirm. In general, we need:

  • Room for the crew to queue
  • Light near the van if needed
  • A route in the van can manage, with no low branches or tight lanes

Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly.

Pixham questions

Can the van go to venues in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?

Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We will follow the site rules.

Is Pixham close to London?

About 20 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.

Can you cater for allergies?

Tell us about allergies when you book, and we will tell you what’s in each item.

Do you need power or water?

Let us know about power and water at the site in your enquiry, and we’ll say what we need.

Where can the van park?

A level, firm spot it can drive onto, close to where people will eat, with room for a queue at the hatch. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.

Is the fish gluten-free?

Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Let us know about coeliac crew in advance, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible.

How long are you on site?

We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. Timings are agreed in advance so food is ready when you want it.

Is there something for children?

Of course. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Include children in your numbers.

Should I sort the food myself?

DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.

If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is normally the easier option.

How the day works

We need time before service to bring the fryers up to heat, so we always arrive well ahead of your serving time. Winter shoots near Pixham chase the light, which goes at about 3:55pm in December, so lunch at base is often in daylight but a wrap meal is not.

  1. First, tell us about your shoot.
  2. You get an availability check and a clear quote.
  3. We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
  4. We cook to order on the day for the crew.
  5. Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.

How to prepare

  • Get permission for the van from the venue
  • Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
  • Make sure the van can get in
