About our film set catering in West Cliffe
A van can get a crew fed quickly within the lunch break, with no kitchen needed on site. Typical bookings include unit base lunches and period dramas on location, serving pie and chips, sausage and chips and mushy peas.
For a shoot in a place like West Cliffe, tracks and soft ground need checking. Your quote spells out what’s included: the date, the service time and the menu, with no surprises on the day.
For planners, venues and organisers
Parks, greens and streets usually need permission for a catering van. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
Allergies and dietary needs
Nearly every event has some special diets. To look after them:
- Confirm allergies by email
- Plan an alternative for anyone we can’t cater for
- Flag any coeliac crew
- Agree the waste plan with locations
We clear up quickly after lunch.
Pre-orders from the crew help on tight breaks.
Should I sort the food myself?
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.
How the day works
A typical booking goes like this: the van arrives and we set up, the oil comes up to temperature, and we serve hot from the hatch when you’re ready to eat. Winter shoots near West Cliffe chase the light, which goes at about 3:50pm in December, so lunch at base is often in daylight but a wrap meal isn’t.
- We start with a few details about your shoot.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for the crew.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.
Preparing for the day
- Keep space clear for crew at the hatch
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park

Do you need power or water?
Tell us what’s available at the site when you enquire, and we will say what we need.
How long will the queue be?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we’ll plan service around it.
Do numbers include extras?
Of course. Let us know total numbers.
How much does a fish and chip van for the crew cost in West Cliffe?
It depends on numbers, the menu, how long we serve and travel. Tell us about your shoot and we’ll send a quote.
Can you cater for allergies?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Tell us about allergies in advance.
