Film set catering in Stonehill Green, fried fresh
Everything is cooked as crew come up, so it is hot when the break is called. We are often asked to cater treat days on a long shoot and photo shoots, with sausage and chips, pie and chips and haddock and chips.
Near Stonehill Green, crews may be miles from anywhere to eat, so lunch at base matters. The menu is short on purpose: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.
Food your guests will love
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips covers anyone who does not want fish, and it’s a favourite with children.
Curry sauce
Curry sauce divides opinion and it’s on the menu.
How we price a fish and chip van for the crew
There is nothing hidden: the price is based on:
- Access and parking
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- Numbers
- Cod, haddock or both
Most vans have a minimum charge, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. We’ll tell you up front.
Getting an accurate quote
When you contact us, it helps to tell us:
- Dietary needs, with numbers
- A picture of where the van would go
- Roughly how many people, including children
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
Every booking is quoted individually, so the price fits what you actually need. To ask for one, use our quote form.
Allergies and dietary needs
A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Try these:
- Put allergy details in writing
- Have a back-up for special diets
- Share the base location and route
- Plan bins and waste at base
We arrive at base in good time and set up.
A gazebo by the van keeps the line dry.
Stonehill Green questions
Do you come out to small places like Stonehill Green?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
How far is Stonehill Green from London?
About 13 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Do numbers include extras?
Of course. Let us know total numbers.
Do you need power or water?
Tell us what’s available at the site when you enquire, and we’ll say what we need.
Is there something for children?
Children are very welcome. Tell us how many children, and we will include them in the plan.
What do you bring?
The van comes fully equipped to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.
Can you cook in the rain?
We carry on in the rain, because the cooking happens inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
What paperwork do you provide?
Send us your supplier requirements.
Space, access and the venue
Every site is different, so we’ll ask about yours when you get in touch. Generally, we look for:
- Away from the shooting area’s sound
- A lit spot for dark mornings or evenings
- Space in front of the hatch
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.
From the hatch
- Haddock and chips
- Mushy peas
- Sausage and chips
- Crew lunches
- Cod and chips
- Pie and chips
What happens on the day
We work to your timings. If things run late, we simply start frying a little later, so nothing is cooked before it is needed. Light in Stonehill Green lasts until about 9:20pm at midsummer; for dawn calls or late wraps, plan lighting at base.
- Contact us with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- Show us where the van would go, and we’ll 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
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
- Plan where the queue will stand
- Have a level parking spot ready
