Film set catering in Wells-in-the-Field, fried fresh
A van can get a crew fed quickly within the lunch break, without needing a kitchen on location. For crew morale days and event crews, we can cook mushy peas, sausage and chips and cod and chips and more.
Near Wells-in-the-Field, crews may be miles from anywhere to eat, so lunch at base matters. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your shoot, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.

- Send allergies to us in writing

About the food
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. It’s the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.
Sausage and chips
A sausage and chips is the chip-shop classic for younger crew and fish-dodgers, especially with curry sauce.

Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your crew instead.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is generally simpler.
Organising for someone else?
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan service to match. Staggering groups helps a lot.
