How our film set catering works in Well Hill
Seaside and period locations suit a fish and chip van perfectly. Typical bookings include music video shoots and live events and broadcasts, serving sausage and chips, haddock and chips and cod and chips.
Shoots in Well Hill often use streets, yards and car parks as unit bases. Locations will have the parking arrangements, frequently with council permission. We keep the menu short: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.

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 cooks in front of your crew instead.
