Planning the van’s spot
We will agree the van’s spot with you before the day. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- Space in front of the hatch
- A clear route to base
- A level, firm spot at the unit base
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.

Film set catering in Redford, fried fresh
We work with your location manager or production office on access, parking and timings. On the menu are cod and chips, mushy peas and sausage and chips, and we are frequently booked for unit base lunches and music video shoots.
Near Redford, crews may be miles from anywhere to eat, so a van at base is a big help. We keep the menu short: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.

Food your guests will love
Cod and chips
For many people, cod and chips is the definitive version. Cooked fresh at the hatch, it goes out hot and crisp.
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are made from dried marrowfat peas, soaked and cooked until soft. They’re the side most people expect.
Organising for someone else?
Organising a club, school or community event in Redford? Fish and chips is a reliable crowd-pleaser. Tell us about the event and we will take it from there.
Parks, greens and streets typically need permission for a catering van. Ask the council or landowner early.
How the day works
You’ll know we are ready when the smell of frying drifts over, about the time the first crew wander across. From then on, people come up as they’re ready. On a winter shoot near Redford, the light goes by about 4:00pm, so a late lunch or wrap at base needs lighting. In summer, light lasts until about 9:20pm.
- We start with the location, call times and crew numbers.
- We check access and send a quote.
- Parking and arrival are agreed with locations.
- We cook to order through the crew’s lunch break.
- We pack up straight after service and leave the base tidy.
How to prepare
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Tell us when you want to eat

If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we will suggest a menu and timing to match. Keeping the menu short is usually the best value.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the shoot.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is usually simpler.
