DIY versus a fish and chip van
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the shoot.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
What the van needs
A good parking spot makes the whole thing easier. We need:
- Clear of the shot and sound
- Permission for the van at base
- A queue area clear of trucks
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.
Popular choices
- Haddock and chips
- Crew lunches
- Cod and chips
- Mushy peas
- Sausage and chips
- Pie and chips
