Film set catering in Woolmer Hill, cooked to order
The van needs level, firm ground at the unit base, and a route the van can manage. For event crews and location filming, we will put together a menu of sausage and chips, haddock and chips and mushy peas.
For a shoot in a place like Woolmer Hill, tracks and soft ground need checking with locations. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet, and handed over as soon as it’s ready.

Step by step
Nothing gathers a crowd like the smell of fish and chips. Each piece of fish is battered and fried to order, and chips are fried in batches through service. On a winter shoot near Woolmer Hill, the light goes by about 4:00pm, so a late lunch or wrap at base needs lighting. Summer shoots have daylight until about 9:20pm.
- Get in touch with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- A photo of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for the crew.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.

Takeaway run or book a van?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
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 typically simpler.
A closer look at the menu
Mushy peas
Proper mushy peas start with dried marrowfat peas. They’re the classic side with fish and chips.
Curry sauce
Curry sauce divides opinion, so we bring it along.
