Our film set catering in Slough
Schedules move, so a contact on the day helps and we’ll work around it. We’re often asked to cater treat days on a long shoot and shoots on location, serving pie and chips, sausage and chips and haddock and chips.
Nothing gathers a crowd like the smell of fish and chips. Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, with chips cooked in batches as the queue moves.
- First, tell us about your shoot.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
- We cook to order on the day for the crew.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.
What you’ll pay
Most vans have a minimum charge, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. Ask us what applies to your shoot.
Why book our van
- Nothing for you to cook or clear
- Fried fresh, not kept warm
- A clear quote before booking
- A van that becomes part of the event
Ask for a quote

Planning an event for a club, school or charity in Slough? A fish and chip van draws people in and almost everyone likes it. Give us the details and we’ll suggest how it could work.
Planning the van’s spot
The right spot keeps everyone safe and the service smooth. We look for:
- Lighting for early or late service
- Level, firm ground at base
- A route in the van can manage, with no low branches or tight lanes
Planning for dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs and allergies early, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible. To get it right:
- Ask for dietary needs on the crew info form
- Let us know about coeliac disease
- Send final numbers the day before
- Send allergies to us in writing
We clear up quickly after lunch.
Tables or a marquee at base make lunch comfortable.
Should I sort the food myself?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is generally the easier option.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
Common questions in Slough
Do you do wrap parties?
Yes, and crews love it. Send us the date and place.
Do you take everything away?
We clear the van’s area after service. Let us know about bins for crew.
Where can the van park?
Less than you might think: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, that the van can reach easily. If in doubt, send a picture.
When do you arrive?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
What about crew who don’t eat fish?
Yes: sausages and pies, with chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.
What if lunch moves?
Yes. Give us a contact for changes, and we’ll adjust where possible.
What areas do you cover?
