Film set catering for your shoot in Rew Street
Locations and the production office can deal with us directly. For seaside and period locations and event crews, we can cook cod and chips, mushy peas and haddock and chips and more.
Rural locations near Rew Street can be a long way from food, so a van at base is a big help. Everything is fried fresh at your shoot, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet.

Takeaway run or book a van?
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
Questions from Rew Street
Can you serve near the sea around Rew Street?
Yes. The cooking is inside the van, so wind does not affect it, but the queue will want shelter.
Is Rew Street too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
What does the van need?
Not much: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, with a clear way in. If in doubt, send a picture.
What does it cost to hire the van?
Every booking is quoted individually, based on your numbers and timings. Give us your date, numbers and serving time and we will reply with a price.

How the day works
We get there well before service, park the van and get the fryers going. Crew usually gather round the hatch as soon as we open. Winter shoots near Rew Street chase the light, which goes at about 4:00pm in December, so lunch at base is often in daylight but a wrap meal isn’t.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive in good time to set up.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.
