Fresh fish and chips in Rotherwick
Film set catering for your shoot in Rotherwick
Shoot days are long, and a hot lunch on time matters. A fish and chip van parks at the unit base and fries to order. Whether it is wrap celebrations and seaside shoots, we can cook haddock and chips, mushy peas and cod and chips for your guests.
For a shoot in a place like Rotherwick, tracks and soft ground need checking with locations. We keep the menu short: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.
Step by step
On the day, we park up on the agreed spot, set up and heat the fryers. Then everything is fried to order, timed around your shoot. On a winter shoot near Rotherwick, the light goes by about 4:00pm, so a late lunch or wrap at base needs lighting. Summer shoots have daylight until about 9:25pm.

Planning help
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Ordering takeaway to a location is unreliable. The van cooks on site. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. Every booking gets its own quote.
Why book with us
- Hot food handed straight over
- Cod, haddock, sausages and pies
- Nothing for you to cook or clear
- Something for crew to gather round
Read our prices page and the cost guide.
Why choose film set catering in Rotherwick?
It needs no kitchen on location, just a spot at the unit base.
The van suits big events and small ones. Typical bookings include:
- Crew lunches at base
- Location shoots
- Crew treats on long shoot days
- Music video shoots
For cast and crew travelling by train, the closest railway station is Hook station, roughly 1.8 miles south of the centre.
Questions to ask before booking
- How late numbers can change
- Payment terms and deposit
- Any travel, parking or access charges
- Whether VAT is included
Should I sort the food myself?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
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.
