Film set catering for The Village events
DIY versus a fish and chip van
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is usually the easier option.
About our film set catering in The Village
We work with your location manager or production office on access, parking and timings. On the menu are pie and chips, cod and chips and haddock and chips, and we’re regularly asked to cater wrap celebrations and crew morale days.
Rural locations near The Village can be a long way from food, so a van at base is a big help. We serve from the hatch, so it’s hot and generous, and service is quick once we are up and running.

Planning for dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Arrange something for anyone with needs we can’t meet
- Ask for dietary needs on the crew info form
- Agree how the base is left
- Make sure we can reach locations on the day
A short menu keeps the line moving in a lunch break.
A chip van wrap party is a great way to finish a shoot.
How the day works
The van turns up at the agreed time, pulls onto the spot you’ve chosen. When the fryers are up to heat, service starts right on schedule. Long summer days in The Village, with light until about 9:25pm, suit evening wraps outdoors.
- Tell us what you’re planning and when you’d like to eat.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
Preparing for the day
- Give us a contact for the day
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Keep space clear for crew at the hatch
