Film set catering in Alscot, fried fresh
Everything is cooked as crew come up, so lunch is hot and fresh. We are often asked to cater unit base lunches and ad shoots, serving cod and chips, haddock and chips and mushy peas.
For a shoot in a place like Alscot, tracks and soft ground need checking. Food is served straight from the hatch, so it’s hot and generous, and service is quick once we are up and running.

Food your guests will love
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.
Cod and chips
For many people, cod and chips is the definitive version. Cooked fresh at the hatch, it’s hot, crisp and generous.
How we price a fish and chip van for the crew
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- The day of the week
- Parking and the way in
- How long we serve
- Any minimum charge
Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is often good value, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. We’ll send you a quote.
What we need to know
You don’t need every detail fixed to get a quote, but it helps to know:
- Where the van would park
- Dietary needs, with numbers
- Anything awkward about the way in
- The date and time of the event
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: the parking spot, access, numbers and serving time. Photos of the spot and the way in help. When you’re ready, fill in our quote form.
For planners, venues and organisers
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.
For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can plan ahead.

What’s the nearest station to Alscot?
The closest is Monks Risborough station, roughly 0.5 miles away.
Is Alscot too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
What happens if it rains?
We cook inside the van, so rain does not stop us. It is worth planning some cover for the queue.
Can the van come to base?
Generally, with a level spot. Locations will decide where.
What paperwork do you provide?
Send us your supplier requirements.
Do you have allergen information?
Let us know about allergies in advance, and we will tell you what’s in each item and what we can offer.
Can you feed supporting artists too?
Yes, if they’re in your numbers. Confirm numbers the day before.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Of course. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Tell us how many are coming.
