Film set catering in Yorkletts, cooked to order
We work with your location manager or production office on access, parking and timings. We serve haddock and chips, sausage and chips and pie and chips, and typical bookings are for end-of-shoot parties and live events and broadcasts.
Near Yorkletts, check tracks and ground for the van with locations. Everything is fried fresh at your shoot, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet, and handed over as soon as it’s ready.
Working with your venue
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we’ll explain how it works. We are happy to liaise with facilities on parking and timings.
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.

How we price a fish and chip van for the crew
There’s nothing hidden: the price is based on:
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- Your choice of menu
- The date and time of year
- The minimum booking
Cost depends on numbers, menu and service time, along with distance and access to the site. We quote for each booking individually.
What to tell us
Good planning starts with a few facts. Please include:
- Expected numbers
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- The date and time of the event
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
Still finalising the details? No problem: give us a rough idea and the date, and we will firm it up nearer the time. Start when you are ready: use our quote form.
Allergies and dietary needs
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. Our advice:
- Tell us about coeliac crew specifically
- Update numbers if they change
- Have a back-up for special diets
- Name a contact in the production office
Fewer choices mean faster service.
Pre-orders from the crew help on tight breaks.

Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We’re happy to send a quote so you can compare.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is typically the easier option.
Is a fish and chip van right for your shoot?
Long shoots usually need a full catering unit. A chip van suits short shoots and treat days. Larger groups normally cost less per head, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we will quote.
