Film set catering across Wokingham

We need a level, firm spot at base, and a clear route in. Popular choices include pie and chips, mushy peas and haddock and chips, and typical bookings are for crew treats on long shoot days and seaside and period locations.

Nothing is cooked before it’s needed. Each portion is battered and fried as it is ordered, so it is as fresh as from any chip shop.

You share your date, numbers and address.
We check access for the van and quote.
We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.

The menu, dish by dish

Mushy peas

Mushy peas are made from dried marrowfat peas, soaked and cooked until soft. They’re the side most people expect.

Cod and chips

Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it is the favourite in much of the south. We batter it and fry it to order.

Allergies and dietary needs

Allergies are taken seriously. Here’s how you can help:

Arrange something for anyone with needs we can’t meet
Add an allergy question to crew forms
Confirm allergies by email
Send the unit base address and directions

We take our used oil and waste with us.

Cover near the hatch helps on wet days.

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.

Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.
