How our film set catering works in Silver Hill
Food is fried to order, so lunch is hot and fresh. Whether it’s seaside shoots and music video shoots, we can cook pie and chips, cod and chips and haddock and chips.
Rural locations near Silver Hill can be a long way from food, so a van at base is a big help. We keep the menu short: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.

Is a fish and chip van right for your shoot?
Ordering takeaway to a location is unreliable. A van cooks at the unit base. If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we will suggest a menu and timing to match. A short menu is frequently the best value.

Looking after everyone
Most events have a few crew with dietary needs. To plan for them:
- Agree the waste plan with locations
- Name a contact in the production office
- Share the base location and route
- Confirm numbers the day before
Supporting artists and visitors can be included in numbers.
Pre-orders from the crew help on tight breaks.
What happens on the day
We work to your timings. If things run late, we hold off cooking until you’re ready, so nothing is cooked before it’s needed. At midsummer, Silver Hill has light until about 9:15pm, while by late September it’s nearer 7:00pm.
- The production office sends us the location, dates, numbers and lunch time.
- We check the route and the unit base and send a price.
- Parking and arrival are agreed with locations.
- We set up at the unit base and fry to order for the lunch break.
- We pack up straight after service and leave the base tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Let us know the serving time
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Give us your final numbers and allergies

Working with your venue
Venues frequently have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will work through them with you.
Parks, greens and streets normally need permission for a catering van. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.

Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we’ll be honest about what’s possible.

Yes, children are easy to cater for. Tell us how many children, and we’ll plan for them.
