Film set catering for Amersham events
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
A full location catering unit suits long shoots with three meals a day. A chip van suits short shoots and treat days. Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. We will tell you up front.

- Cod, haddock, sausages and pies

Film set catering for your shoot in Amersham
On a long shoot day, a good hot lunch keeps morale up. A fish and chip van parks at the unit base and fries to order. Popular choices include mushy peas, sausage and chips and haddock and chips, and we are frequently booked for stills shoots and event crews.
In a town like Amersham, unit bases are frequently in car parks, school grounds or yards. The van suits any of them. We bring the van and everything we need to cook, and we leave the pitch tidy when we go.

- The day of the week

What comes out of the fryer
Sausage and chips
A sausage and chips is the chip-shop classic for younger crew and fish-dodgers.
Gravy
A pot of gravy turns chips into comfort food, especially in winter.
Diets, allergies and planning
We take allergies seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Send allergies to us in writing
- Have a back-up for special diets
- Collect diets and allergies with crew details
- Send the unit base address and directions
We set up at the unit base ahead of lunch, out of the way.
Pre-orders from the crew help on tight breaks.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.

Amersham questions
Can the van go to venues in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Is Amersham close to London?
About 25 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes. The fryers are in the van, so it’s fried on the spot, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
Can the van come to Amersham?
Yes, we do. Amersham is one of the places we cover. Send us your date to check availability.
Do we need to provide anything?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Tell us whether there’s power or water nearby and we’ll confirm the rest.
Do you take everything away?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
Which areas do you serve?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Amersham.
Can you feed visitors on set?
Yes. Just tell us who counts.
