Film set catering in Surrey: what to expect

A van can get a crew fed quickly within the lunch break, with no kitchen needed on site. Popular choices include cod and chips, sausage and chips and pie and chips, and we’re often booked for commercials and music videos and outside broadcasts.

You don’t need to do much on the day: show us the spot, tell us when to start, and enjoy your shoot. The frying and serving are down to us.

Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
Show us where the van would go, and we’ll confirm it works.
Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for the crew.
Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.

What you’ll pay

If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we’ll suggest a menu and timing to match. A short menu is frequently the best value.

Local landmarks in Guildford

Around Guildford, we take the van to homes and venues near Surrey Maths School, Sandfield Primary School and Guildford High School. You’ll also find Church of St John the Evangelist (within half a mile east), Stoke Park (within half a mile east) and The King's Head pub (under half a mile south-east). The closest station to Guildford is London Road (Guildford) station, about 0.6 miles south-east. A little further out are Guildford Castle (0.9 miles south) and Guildford House (0.8 miles south). Open spaces near Guildford include Silent Pool and Pewley Hill.

Locations across Surrey

In Surrey’s towns, unit bases are frequently car parks; in its villages, fields and farmyards. Send us the route. The Surrey Hills National Landscape is within easy reach of places across Surrey, so check venue rules on vehicles for countryside events.

Guildford: For crew arriving by train, London Road (Guildford) station, about 0.6 miles south-east, is the nearest station. Within reach of Guildford are historic houses such as Guildford Castle (0.9 miles south) and Loseley Park (2.6 miles south-west). Period locations like these normally keep vehicles well away from the house, so agree the base early. Sunset in Guildford is about 8:55pm in late May, 9:20pm at midsummer and 7:05pm in late September; for dawn calls or late wraps, plan lighting at base.

The menu, dish by dish

Sausage and chips

For anyone who doesn’t fancy fish, there is sausage and chips, and children love it.

Cod and chips

For many people, cod and chips is the definitive version. Cooked fresh at the hatch, it goes out hot and crisp.

Diets, allergies and planning

Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Here’s how:

Name a contact in the production office
Send the unit base address and directions
Agree the waste plan with locations
Confirm allergies by email

After service, we pack up and get out of the way.

End the shoot with a chip van wrap.

Before you choose a spot

If a spot isn’t suitable, we will tell you, and suggest an alternative. What matters most:

Permission for the van at base
A level, firm spot at the unit base
Space in front of the hatch

Can’t we just order from the chip shop?

Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.

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.

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet

Some locations have nowhere to buy food. The van solves that.

Questions to ask before booking

The van’s size and access needs
Any travel, parking or access charges
What happens if the event is cancelled or moved
Whether there’s a minimum

Your questions about a fish and chip van for the crew in Surrey

Do you have documents for productions?

Every production asks for different things, so ask your production office for the list.

What can crew choose from?

The classics: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.

Can you cater for allergies?

Tell us about allergies when you book, and we’ll give you the allergen information and what we can offer.

Do you do wrap parties?

Yes. A chip van suits a relaxed wrap party.

Do you fry it on site?

It is. The fryers are in the van, so food is cooked there and then, not cooked earlier and kept warm.

Do you have a kids’ option?

Of course. Children usually love sausage and chips. Tell us how many are coming.
