Fresh fish and chips in Warren Row
Working with your venue
Parks, greens and streets normally need permission for a catering van. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Staggering groups helps a lot.
About our film set catering in Warren Row
The van needs level, firm ground at the unit base, and a route the van can manage. For location shoots and lunch at the unit base, we’ll put together a menu of sausage and chips, pie and chips and mushy peas for your guests.
Near Warren Row, crews may be miles from anywhere to eat, so a van at base is a big help. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your shoot, so the batter is still crisp when it’s handed over.

Food your guests will love
Cod and chips
Cod and chips is the meal most people picture when they think of a chip shop. Cooked fresh at the hatch, it is hot, crisp and generous.
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips is the go-to for anyone who is not a fish fan.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
The process
Expect a friendly, organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, park on the agreed spot, and get on with frying and serving. In December, daylight in Warren Row ends around 3:55pm, so the unit base needs lighting for late service. Summer shoots have daylight until about 9:25pm.
- First, tell us about your shoot.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- We cook to order on the day for the crew.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.

Is a fish and chip van right for your shoot?
Long shoots typically need a full catering unit. A chip van suits short shoots and treat days. A chip van often compares well with a plated meal, as there’s no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. We will send you a quote.
