Film set catering across Buckinghamshire

A chip van is a popular crew treat on a long shoot, alongside regular catering. We are often asked to cater outside broadcasts and wrap parties, with cod and chips, mushy peas and sausage and chips.

The van needs a level, firm spot it can drive onto, near your crew, which we agree with you beforehand.

  1. Tell us what you are planning and when you’d like to eat.
  2. We come back with availability and a clear price.
  3. The van’s spot is fixed in advance, and how it gets in.
  4. Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
  5. We leave the spot as we found it.

Cost

Larger groups usually 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.

Why book our van

  • Events across Buckinghamshire
  • Fish and chips fried fresh on site
  • Nothing for you to cook or clear
  • The classic sides: peas, curry sauce and gravy

Around Aylesbury

You will find the van serving near Buckinghamshire UTC, Stocklake Park Community School and The Derby Arms Public House. Nearby too are Bearbrook Combined School (0.5 miles west) and Church of St Mary (under half a mile north). There’s a railway station in Aylesbury itself: Aylesbury station. A little further out are Roald Dahl Children's Gallery (less than half a mile east) and Royal Buckinghamshire Hospital (within half a mile north). The countryside around Aylesbury includes Coombe Hill.

Shooting in Buckinghamshire: unit bases

Across Buckinghamshire, bases range from car parks to farmyards. Tell us about access. The Chilterns National Landscape is within easy reach of places across Buckinghamshire, where some venues have extra rules about vehicles.

Aylesbury: For cast and crew travelling by train, Aylesbury station is in Aylesbury itself. The A41 and A413 give trucks and the van a straightforward route to Aylesbury. Winter shoots near Aylesbury chase the light, which goes at about 3:55pm in December.

Occasions we serve in Buckinghamshire

Rain does not stop the fryers.

In Buckinghamshire and nearby, the van turns up at all sorts of events. Some of the most common are:

  • Unit base lunches
  • Photo shoots
  • Period dramas on location
  • Outside broadcasts

What the van needs

We will agree the van’s spot with you before the day. A good spot ticks these boxes:

  • A queue area clear of trucks
  • Agreement from the location manager and landowner
  • Level, firm ground at base

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet

Many locations are miles from shops. A van brings lunch to base.

Comparing caterers

  • What the van needs: space, access, power
  • Exactly what’s included in the price
  • Allergen information for each item
  • The service time, and the cost of running over

What a fish and chip van costs

The same numbers can mean different prices, depending on:

  • How far we travel
  • How long we serve
  • How easy the site is to reach
  • The menu and how many choices

Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is frequently good value, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. Ask us for a quote.

Getting an accurate quote

You don’t need every detail fixed to get a quote, but it helps to know:

  • The venue or postcode
  • Allergies and diets you know about
  • The date and when you’d like to eat
  • Anything awkward about the way in

Most quotes start with a few simple details: the date, where the van would park, roughly how many people and when you’d like to eat. To send them, use our quote form.

Looking after everyone

We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible. To get it right:

  • Tell us about coeliac crew specifically
  • Send allergies to us in writing
  • Collect diets and allergies with crew details
  • Give us a contact for call-time changes

Tell us if supporting artists are eating.

Tables or a marquee at base make lunch comfortable.
