Fresh fish and chips in Witley
About our film set catering in Witley
Shoot days are long, and a hot lunch on time matters. We park at the unit base and cook to order. Popular choices include mushy peas, pie and chips and sausage and chips, and we are regularly asked to cater stills shoots and event crews.
Near Witley, check tracks and ground for the van. Everything is fried fresh at your shoot, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet, and served the moment it comes out of the fryer.
The menu, dish by dish
Gravy
Gravy brings a bit of warmth to the meal, especially in winter.
Curry sauce
Curry sauce divides opinion, so we bring it along.
Should I sort the food myself?
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is generally simpler.
How the day works
Nothing is cooked before it is needed. Fish is battered and fried when people come up to the hatch, which is why it tastes like it does at the seaside. On a winter shoot near Witley, the light goes by about 3:55pm, so a late lunch or wrap at base needs lighting. In summer, light lasts until about 9:20pm.
- First, tell us about your shoot.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- We cook to order on the day for the crew.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.
Getting ready for the day
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
