What comes out of the fryer
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are made from dried marrowfat peas, soaked and cooked until soft. They’re the side most people expect.
Curry sauce
Chip-shop curry sauce is a mild, slightly sweet British classic, great with chips and sausages.
How the day works
If the plan changes on the day, a quick word is all it takes: we can start a little later or slow the pace. Light in Wokefield lasts until about 9:25pm at midsummer; for dawn calls or late wraps, plan lighting at base.

Planners, venues and businesses

Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we will work through them with you.
Before you choose a spot
The right spot keeps everyone safe and the service smooth. We need:
- A clear route to base
- Room for the crew to queue
- Far enough from set to keep noise down
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.
From the hatch
