How our film set catering works in Tutts Clump
Shoot days are long, and a hot lunch on time matters. A fish and chip van parks at the unit base and fries to order. For event crews and unit base lunches, we can cook mushy peas, sausage and chips and cod and chips.
For a shoot in a place like Tutts Clump, tracks and soft ground need checking with locations. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, not cooked earlier and kept warm, and handed over as soon as it is ready.

FAQs for Tutts Clump

About 46 miles from central London.
Is there something for children?

Do you do wrap parties?
Yes, it’s a popular wrap. Send us the date and place.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Tell us about coeliac crew when you enquire, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer.
Is there a non-fish option?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Tell us about other diets and we’ll be honest about what’s possible.
How long does set-up take?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
Prices and what affects them
Fish and chip van pricing is simple once we know the basics:
- How far we travel
- Your choice of menu
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- Numbers
Most vans have a minimum charge, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. We will tell you up front.
What to tell us
The more we know about your shoot, the better we can plan. Please include:
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- The address or venue name
- Roughly how many people, including children
- A picture of the space and the way in
It’s easy to get a price: tell us the date, place, numbers and serving time. We will send a clear quote that says what’s included.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. 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.

How it works
Your timings come first. If things run late, we hold off cooking until you’re ready, so nothing is cooked before it’s needed. On a winter shoot near Tutts Clump, the light goes by about 4:00pm, so the unit base needs lighting for late service. In summer, light lasts until about 9:25pm.

- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
