About our film set catering in Wormshill
A chip van fits right in at seaside locations. Typical bookings include seaside shoots and wrap celebrations, serving sausage and chips, mushy peas and cod and chips.
Rural locations near Wormshill can be a long way from food, so lunch at base matters. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet, and served the moment it comes out of the fryer.
A fish and chip van or other catering?
Long shoots usually need a full catering unit. A chip van suits short shoots and treat days. Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is frequently good value, as there’s no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. We’ll send you a quote.
Why book our van in Wormshill

What affects the price in Wormshill
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:

- How many people are eating
The cost per head typically falls as numbers rise, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Give us your numbers and we will quote.
