Fresh fish and chips in Terrick
How our film set catering works in Terrick
Shoot days are long, and a hot lunch on time matters. We park at the unit base and cook to order. We are frequently asked to cater crew treats on long shoot days and wrap celebrations, serving haddock and chips, pie and chips and sausage and chips.
Near Terrick, crews may be miles from anywhere to eat, so a van at base is a big help. We bring the van and everything we need to cook, and we leave the pitch tidy when we go.

What a fish and chip van costs
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- The number of meals
- Cod, haddock or both
- Any minimum charge
There’s no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. We set everything out in your quote.
What to tell us
The more we know about your shoot, the better we can plan. Try to include:
- Where you’d like the van to go
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- A picture of the space and the way in
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
We only need a few details to quote: the date, where the van would park, roughly how many people and when you’d like to eat. To send them, fill in our quote form.

Planning for dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Flag any coeliac crew
- Share the base location and route
- Ensure we can reach locations on the day
- Agree how the base is left
A short menu keeps the line moving.
Bins at base keep the location clean.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. 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.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
