Fresh fish and chips in Woolstone
The menu, dish by dish

In the north and the Midlands, gravy is the side of choice, and it is lovely with a pie.

How our film set catering works in Woolstone
Seaside and period locations suit a fish and chip van perfectly. We are often asked to cater seaside and period locations and location shoots, with mushy peas, cod and chips and sausage and chips.
For a location shoot near Woolstone, base might be in a field or farmyard, so ground conditions matter. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, not cooked earlier and kept warm, and handed over as soon as it’s ready.

Before you choose a spot
Before the day, we will agree where the van parks. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- Space in front of the hatch
- A hardstanding spot at the unit base
- Light near the van if needed
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.

Before booking anyone
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- How many hours the van serves
- What they can offer for dietary needs
- The cancellation terms
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Takeaway rarely reaches a location hot. The van cooks on site. Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. We will tell you up front.

Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes. We cook inside the van, so it’s fried on the spot, rather than made in advance.

What do we need to supply?
Tell us what’s available at the site in your enquiry, and we will confirm what we need.
Is grass a problem?
It depends on the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and send a photo if you can.
How it works
We arrive in good time before you want to eat, park the van and get the fryers going. Your crew can wander over to the hatch as soon as we open. On a winter shoot near Woolstone, the light goes by about 3:55pm, so the unit base needs lighting for late service. In summer, light lasts until about 9:25pm.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- 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.
Preparing for the day
- Give us a contact for the day
- Have a level parking spot ready
- Get permission for the van from the venue

Planning for dietary needs
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. We suggest:

- Share the base location and route
- Let us know about coeliac disease
- Name a contact in the production office
A short menu keeps the line moving in a lunch break.
A gazebo by the van keeps the line dry.
Should I sort the food myself?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
