Film set catering for your shoot in Shottesbrooke
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. On the menu are mushy peas, sausage and chips and haddock and chips, and typical bookings are for crew morale days and end-of-shoot parties.
Near Shottesbrooke, check tracks and ground for the van. We serve from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and service is quick once we are up and running.

How it works
We need a level, firm place to park the van, close to where people will eat, which we agree with you beforehand. Winter shoots near Shottesbrooke chase the light, which goes at about 3:55pm in December, so lunch at base is often in daylight but a wrap meal is not.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A photo of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for the crew.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Preparing for the day
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Give us a contact for the day
How to get a price
We only need a few details to quote: date, address, numbers and serving time. To send them, use our quote form.

What comes out of the fryer
Gravy

Pie and chips
Pie and chips gives people a filling alternative to fish.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
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. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your crew instead.
What the van needs
A good parking spot makes the whole thing easier. We need:
- A level, firm spot at the unit base
- Access checked by locations
- Lighting for early or late service
