About our film set catering in The Hyde
A van can get a crew fed quickly within the lunch break, without needing a kitchen on location. Typical bookings include music video shoots and location filming, with pie and chips, cod and chips and haddock and chips.
Shoots in The Hyde frequently use streets, yards and car parks as unit bases. Locations will have the parking arrangements, often with council permission. Everything is fried fresh at your shoot, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet, and handed over as soon as it is ready.

Should I sort the food myself?
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
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 solves that by cooking on site.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
