Film set catering for your shoot in Weston
A chip van fits right in at seaside locations. Popular choices include cod and chips, pie and chips and mushy peas, and we are often booked for wrap celebrations and crew treats on long shoot days.
Near Weston, crews may be miles from anywhere to eat, so lunch at base matters. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.

A fish and chip van or other catering?
For a crew treat, a chip van is hard to beat. A chip van often compares well with a plated meal, as there is no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. We will send you a quote.

How the day works
You will know we are ready when the smell of frying drifts over. From then on, people come up as they’re ready. On a winter shoot near Weston, the light goes by about 4:00pm, so a late lunch or wrap at base needs lighting. In summer, light lasts until about 9:25pm.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- Show us where the van would go, and we’ll confirm it works.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for the crew.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
How to prepare
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Get permission for the van from the venue

Organising for someone else?
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Staggering groups helps a lot.
A closer look at the menu
Haddock and chips
Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are made from dried marrowfat peas, soaked and cooked until soft. They’re the side most people expect.
Should I sort the food myself?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
What a fish and chip van costs
We will give you a clear quote. The main things that affect it are:
- How easy the site is to reach
- The date and time of year
- Whether a minimum applies
- How many people are eating
There is no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. We set everything out in your quote.
Details that help
You don’t need every detail fixed to get a quote, but it helps to know:
- Expected numbers
- The spot you have in mind for the van
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- The venue or postcode
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: the parking spot, access, numbers and serving time. Photos of the spot and the way in help. When you’re ready, send us your details through our quote form.
