A closer look at the menu
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. It is the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.
Pie and chips
Pie and chips is hearty and filling, and it is a favourite in colder months.
Film set catering for your shoot in Worth
A van can get a crew fed quickly within the lunch break, without needing a kitchen on location. Whether it’s wrap parties and crew morale days, we can cook haddock and chips, pie and chips and mushy peas and more.
Near Worth, crews may be miles from anywhere to eat, so a van at base is a big help. We cook inside the van, right where your crew are, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.

Should I sort the food myself?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is normally simpler.
What the van needs
A fish and chip van is a vehicle, so the spot matters, so a few things need checking. These are the things we check:
- Far enough from set to keep noise down
- Agreement from the location manager and landowner
- Space in front of the hatch
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.
On the menu in Worth
- Mushy peas
- Haddock and chips

Common questions in Worth
Do you come out to small places like Worth?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
What about events near the coast?
Yes. The cooking is inside the van, so wind does not affect it, but the queue will want shelter.
Is the food cooked at the event?
It is. The fryers are in the van, so it’s fried on the spot, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
Do you have documents for productions?
Send us your supplier requirements.
Do you have allergen information?
Let us know about allergies in advance, and we’ll tell you what’s in each item and what we can offer.
Can the van park on the street?
It depends on the road. A drive, car park or yard is normally easier; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
Can you work to the call sheet?
We can. Tell us the lunch time and a contact on the day, and we will work around changes where we can.
Do you take everything away?
We clear the van’s area after service. Let us know about bins for crew.
A fish and chip van or other catering?
A wrap party at a venue costs more. A van keeps it relaxed and simple. The cost per head generally falls as numbers rise, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
