Pre-orders from the crew help on tight breaks.
Film set catering in Wick, cooked to order
Everything is cooked as crew come up, so lunch is hot and fresh. We serve pie and chips, mushy peas and cod and chips, and we’re frequently booked for treat days on a long shoot and photo shoots.
For a location shoot near Wick, base might be in a field or farmyard. We keep the menu short: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.

A closer look at the menu
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it’s the favourite in much of the south. It is battered and fried to order.
Curry sauce
Some people will not eat chips without curry sauce and it is on the menu.
How it works
From set-up to the last portion, we look after the food, so you can get on with your shoot. Winter shoots near Wick chase the light, which goes at about 4:00pm in December, so lunch at base is frequently in daylight but a wrap meal isn’t.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for the crew.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
How to prepare
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue

Organising a club, school or community event in Wick? Fish and chips is a reliable crowd-pleaser. Give us the details and we’ll suggest how it could work.

Should I sort the food myself?
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 normally simpler.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
