How our film set catering works in Tiddington
A chip van is a popular crew treat on a long shoot. We’re often asked to cater crew morale days and location filming, serving cod and chips, pie and chips and sausage and chips.
Rural locations near Tiddington can be a long way from food, so a van at base is a big help. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.

Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
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.
