Fresh fish and chips in West Molesey
About our film set catering in West Molesey
Shoot days are long, and a hot lunch on time matters. A fish and chip van parks at the unit base and fries to order. We’re frequently asked to cater music video shoots and outside broadcasts, serving pie and chips, haddock and chips and mushy peas.
Shoots around West Molesey often use houses, farms and lanes. Tell us about the route to base. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we’ll be straight with you about what we can do before you book.
What affects the price in West Molesey

- The venue or postcode

Organising for someone else?
Venues frequently have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will confirm what we can provide.
Parks, greens and streets generally need permission for a catering van. Ask the council or landowner early.

Where the van can park in West Molesey
The van has to be able to get in and park safely, so a few things need checking. Here’s what we look for:
- Level, firm ground at base
- Space in front of the hatch
- Clear of the shot and sound
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
From the hatch
- Crew lunches
- Haddock and chips
- Pie and chips
- Sausage and chips
- Cod and chips
- Mushy peas
Food your guests will love
Haddock and chips
Haddock has loyal fans: a firmer flake and a sweeter taste. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips covers anyone who does not want fish, and it is a favourite with children.
Takeaway run or book a van?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
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 solves that by cooking on site.

It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Give us your numbers and service window, and we’ll plan service around it.
