Fresh fish and chips in South Weirs
How our film set catering works in South Weirs
Everything is cooked as crew come up, so lunch is hot and fresh. We’re often asked to cater period dramas on location and outside broadcasts, with cod and chips, mushy peas and haddock and chips.
Near South Weirs, check tracks and ground for the van with locations. We serve from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and the queue keeps moving.

For a heartier option, there is pie and chips.
How we price a fish and chip van for the crew
There are no hidden charges: the price is based on:
- The length of service
- Any minimum charge
- Parking and the way in
- The day of the week
Distance and any road charges make a difference, so it helps to give us the postcode.
Details that help
To speed things up, tell us:
- The spot you have in mind for the van
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- The address or venue name
- A picture of the space and the way in
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: where the van would park, how to get in, numbers and timings. Photos of the spot and the way in help. When you are ready, use our quote form.

The process
When we arrive, we position the van, set up the hatch and get the fryers up to temperature. Once we are hot, we cook to order, so we time it to your schedule. In December, daylight in South Weirs ends around 4:05pm, so the unit base needs lighting for late service. In summer, light lasts until about 9:25pm.
- Contact us with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- A picture 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.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Preparing for the day
- Plan where the queue will stand
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Ensure the van can get in
