Film set catering in Shedfield, cooked to order
Fried-to-order service suits a lunch break, with no kitchen needed on site. For photo shoots and crew lunches at base, we will put together a menu of cod and chips, mushy peas and haddock and chips and more.
Near Shedfield, crews may be miles from anywhere to eat, so a van at base is a big help. We serve from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and the queue keeps moving.
What comes out of the fryer
Gravy
In the north and the Midlands, gravy is the side of choice, and it is lovely with a pie.
Pie and chips
For a heartier option, there is pie and chips, perfect with gravy.
Diets, allergies and planning
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. We suggest:
- Have a back-up for special diets
- Plan bins and waste at base
- Put allergy details in writing
- Send the unit base address and directions
After service, we pack up and get out of the way.
Plan bins at the unit base.

Should I sort the food myself?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
What happens on the day
Serving is straightforward: food goes from the fryer to the hatch. Afterwards we pack up. At midsummer, Shedfield has light until about 9:20pm.
- Tell us what you are planning and when you’d like to eat.

Getting ready for the day
