Film set catering in Wooden Hill, fried fresh
On a long shoot day, a good hot lunch keeps morale up. A fish and chip van parks at the unit base and fries to order. On the menu are cod and chips, pie and chips and sausage and chips, and we are frequently booked for crew treats on long shoot days and location shoots.
For a shoot in a place like Wooden Hill, tracks and soft ground need checking. Food is served straight from the hatch, so it’s hot and generous, and service is quick once we are up and running.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is usually the easier option.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
Diets, allergies and planning
We take allergies seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Plan bins and waste at base
- Let us know about coeliac disease
- Give us a contact for call-time changes
- Share the base location and route
We arrive at base in good time and set up.
Pre-orders from the crew help on tight breaks.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
