Mobile Fish and Chip Van
Film and TV set catering
A fish and chip van at the unit base: hot food for cast and crew, timed to the call sheet and served fast from the hatch.
- Location shoots
- Unit base lunches
- Wrap parties
Film and TV set catering, fried fresh on the day
Shoot days are long, and a hot lunch that arrives on time matters. A fish and chip van parks at the unit base, fries to order and gets a crew fed quickly within the lunch break, without needing a kitchen on site.
We cater location shoots, unit bases, commercials, music videos and wrap parties. Send us the location, the call times and the numbers, and we’ll work with your location manager or production office on access, parking and timings.

A fish and chip van compared with other event catering
| Option | Good for | Watch out for |
|---|---|---|
| Fish and chip van | Fried to order and served hot; a menu almost everyone likes; no kitchen needed | Needs a level, firm spot the van can reach |
| Hog roast | Popular for big outdoor events | One main dish; harder for guests who don’t eat pork |
| Barbecue | Casual and familiar | Food comes off in batches; someone has to cook it |
| Cold buffet | Simple; no vehicle access needed | Food sits out; nothing hot on a cold evening |
| Plated meal | Formal and traditional | Needs a kitchen, more staff and usually costs more per head |
