How our film set catering works in Stone Street
A chip van is a popular crew treat on a long shoot. We are frequently asked to cater seaside shoots and ad shoots, serving cod and chips, mushy peas and sausage and chips.
Near Stone Street, check tracks and ground for the van. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your shoot, so the batter is still crisp when it is handed over.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We’re happy to send a quote so you can compare.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the shoot.
Planners, venues and businesses
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we’ll explain how it works. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Sending people up in groups helps.
Planning the van’s spot
We will be honest if a spot will not work. The main points are:
- Agreement from the location manager and landowner
- A lit spot for dark mornings or evenings
- Access checked by locations
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.
