About our film set catering in Adstock
Location shoots, commercials and wrap parties all suit a chip van. Typical bookings include event crews and crew lunches at base, serving pie and chips, sausage and chips and cod and chips.
Near Adstock, crews may be miles from anywhere to eat, so a van at base is a big help. Food is served straight from the hatch, so it is hot and generous, and the queue keeps moving.

Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
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.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your crew instead.
Is a fish and chip van right for your shoot?
Compared with sandwiches on set, a chip van gives the crew a proper hot meal. The cost per head normally falls as numbers rise, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.
Why Adstock hosts choose us
- The classic sides: peas, curry sauce and gravy
- No kitchen, no crockery, no washing up

Organising for someone else?
Many venues set rules for catering vans: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will confirm what we can provide.
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. Ask the council or landowner early.
How we price a fish and chip van for the crew
These are the factors that matter most:
- Distance and any road charges
- Cod, haddock or both
- Service time
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we’ll suggest a menu and timing to match. Keeping the menu short is typically the best value.
