Film set catering for South Street events
How it works
If the plan changes on the day, a quick word is all it takes: we can start a little later or slow the pace to suit your shoot. Daylight is short on winter shoots near South Street: sunset is about 3:55pm, so lunch at base is often in daylight but a wrap meal is not.
- Get in touch with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for the crew.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Getting ready for the day
- Plan where the queue will stand
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van

How our film set catering works in South Street
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. Typical bookings include stills shoots and commercials and music videos, serving cod and chips, sausage and chips and haddock and chips.
In South Street, access to base can be tight, so send us the route and restrictions. The menu is short on purpose: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.

Should I sort the food myself?
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
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 cooks in front of your crew instead.
Is a fish and chip van right for your shoot?
Some locations have nowhere to buy food. A van brings lunch to base. A chip van often compares well with a plated meal, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. We will send you a quote.
Why us?
- We cook inside the van, whatever the weather

- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
