How our film set catering works in South Street
Food is fried to order, so lunch is hot and fresh. For crew lunches at base and end-of-shoot parties, we can cook cod and chips, haddock and chips and mushy peas and more.
Near South Street, crews may be miles from anywhere to eat, so lunch at base matters. You will know what’s included before you book: serving times, the menu and anything else agreed.

How we price a fish and chip van for the crew
Your quote will be clear. What affects it most:
- How easy the site is to reach
- Service time
- How many people are eating
- Your choice of menu
Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. We set everything out in your quote.

- Roughly how many people, including children
- A picture of the parking spot
- Your date and serving time
- Any dietary needs and allergies
Most quotes start with a few simple details: date, address, numbers and serving time. You can send us your details through our quote form.

- A photo of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for the crew.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Before we arrive
- Keep space clear for crew at the hatch
