Book the van in Ascott d'Oyley
DIY versus a fish and chip van
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. 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.
How our film set catering works in Ascott d'Oyley
We need a level, firm spot at base, and a route the van can manage. Whether it is crew treats on long shoot days and event crews, we can cook mushy peas, pie and chips and sausage and chips for your guests.
Rural locations near Ascott d'Oyley can be a long way from food, so lunch at base matters. We keep the menu short: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.

Common questions in Ascott d'Oyley
Is Ascott d'Oyley too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Is Ascott d'Oyley close to London?
About 68 miles from central London.
Can you feed visitors on set?
Yes. Just tell us who counts.
What if we only have street parking?
That depends on local parking rules. A drive, car park or yard is typically easier; for the street, check the council’s rules.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. We’ll talk it through when we quote.
How long are you on site?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. We’ll agree arrival and serving times with you so food is ready when you want it.
Do you cater wrap parties?
Yes, it is a popular wrap. Tell us the details.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
No, not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Tell us about any coeliac crew and we’ll explain the options before booking.

Plenty of places work for the van, but there are a few things to check:
