Film set catering in Plummers Plain
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the shoot.
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 generally the easier option.
About our film set catering in Plummers Plain
A chip van is a popular crew treat on a long shoot, alongside regular catering. For outside broadcasts and period dramas on location, we’ll put together a menu of sausage and chips, mushy peas and haddock and chips and more.
Rural locations near Plummers Plain can be a long way from food, so lunch at base matters. We keep the menu short: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.

What comes out of the fryer
Haddock and chips
Haddock has loyal fans: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it is the favourite in much of the south. We batter it and fry it to order, so it is crisp when it reaches you.

How it works
The smell of the fryers does the inviting. Each piece of fish is battered and fried to order, with chips cooked in batches as the queue moves. On a winter shoot near Plummers Plain, the light goes by about 3:55pm, so the unit base needs lighting for late service. Summer shoots have daylight until about 9:20pm.

- We check the route in and send a price.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
- We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we’re done.
