About our film set catering in West Yoke
The van needs level, firm ground at the unit base, and a clear route in. We’re often asked to cater location shoots and lunch at the unit base, with mushy peas, haddock and chips and cod and chips.
Rural locations near West Yoke can be a long way from food, so lunch at base matters. Your quote spells out what’s included: serving times, the menu and anything else agreed.
Prices and what affects them
The same numbers can mean different prices, because of:
- The day of the week
- How far we travel
- Any minimum charge
- How easy the site is to reach
Larger groups usually cost less per head, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
What to tell us
For a quote, it helps to have:
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- Where the van would park
- A picture of where the van would go
- Any dietary needs and allergies

What comes out of the fryer
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it is what most people in the south ask for. It’s battered and fried to order.
Pie and chips
A pie and chips is proper comfort food, and it is a favourite in colder months.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
What happens on the day
Nothing gathers a crowd like the smell of fish and chips. Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, and chips are fried in batches through service. Light in West Yoke lasts until about 9:20pm at midsummer; for dawn calls or late wraps, plan lighting at base.

- Parking and arrival are agreed with locations.
- We cook to order through the crew’s lunch break.
