About our film set catering in Upper Froyle
A chip van is a popular crew treat on a long shoot. Typical bookings include seaside and period locations and location shoots, serving cod and chips, mushy peas and sausage and chips.
For a shoot in a place like Upper Froyle, tracks and soft ground need checking. We keep the menu short: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.
Is a fish and chip van right for your shoot?
Many locations are miles from shops. A van brings lunch to base. Most vans have a minimum charge, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. Ask us what applies to your shoot.
Why book our van in Upper Froyle
- Works on wet days as well as sunny ones
- The classic sides: peas, curry sauce and gravy
- No kitchen needed
- Served hot, straight from the hatch

A chip van wrap party is a great way to finish a shoot.
