Film set catering in Sheet's Heath, cooked to order
A chip van fits right in at seaside locations. Popular choices include pie and chips, cod and chips and haddock and chips, and we’re regularly asked to cater wrap celebrations and photo shoots.
Near Sheet's Heath, check tracks and ground for the van. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, not cooked earlier and kept warm, and handed over as soon as it’s ready.
Why choose a fish and chip van in Sheet's Heath?

Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
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. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.
