Film set catering for your shoot in Troy Town
We need a level, firm spot at base, and a clear route in. Typical bookings include event crews and crew morale days, serving haddock and chips, mushy peas and cod and chips.
Near Troy Town, check tracks and ground for the van with locations. Food is served straight from the hatch, so it’s hot and generous, and the queue keeps moving.
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.
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’s fried on the spot.

Is a fish and chip van right for your shoot?

Prices and what affects them
There’s nothing hidden: the quote reflects:
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- Whether a minimum applies
- Your choice of menu
- Numbers
A chip van frequently compares well with a plated meal, as there’s no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. Ask us for a quote.
What we need to know
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- Roughly how many people, including children
- The address or venue name
- Anything awkward about the way in
- Your date and serving time
Each quote is put together for your shoot. Start with your date, and we’ll check availability right away.
Step by step
Nothing gathers a crowd like the smell of fish and chips. Each piece of fish is battered and fried to order, and chips are fried in batches through service. Daylight is short on winter shoots near Troy Town: sunset is about 3:55pm, so lunch at base is frequently in daylight but a wrap meal is not.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- Show us where the van would go, and we’ll confirm it works.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for the crew.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Preparing for the day
- Keep space clear for crew at the hatch
- Have a level parking spot ready
- Tell us when you want to eat
