About our film set catering in Aylesbury
A chip van fits right in at seaside locations. On the menu are sausage and chips, mushy peas and haddock and chips, and we’re often booked for ad shoots and end-of-shoot parties.
Shoots in Aylesbury use all kinds of locations. The van needs level ground at the unit base. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we will be straight with you about what we can do.

Planning the van’s spot
Every site is different, so we will ask about yours when you contact us. In general, we need:
- Room for the crew to queue
- Lighting for early or late service
- A level, firm spot at the unit base
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.

How it works
Your timings come first. If things run late, we simply start frying a little later, so nothing is cooked before it is needed. Light in Aylesbury lasts until about 9:25pm at midsummer; for dawn calls or late wraps, plan lighting at base.
- The production office sends us the location, dates, numbers and lunch time.
- We check the route and the unit base and send a price.
- Parking and arrival are agreed with locations.
- We cook to order through the crew’s lunch break.
- Afterwards we pack up and leave the unit base clean.
How to prepare
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
How to get a price
Every quote is worked out for your event. Start with your date, and we’ll confirm whether we are available that day.

Aylesbury for film and TV crews
Aylesbury is about 38 miles north-west of London, in Buckinghamshire. For shoots in Aylesbury, we can park on a drive, a car park, a yard or firm, dry grass. We take the van to 263 places in Buckinghamshire. You can also see our page for Milton Keynes, about 15 miles away.
Crew coming by rail can use the station: there’s a station right in Aylesbury: Aylesbury station. Aylesbury is on or near the A41 and A413, good for unit base access. The Chilterns National Landscape is within about 6 miles of Aylesbury, so check vehicle rules with locations.
For shoots in HP21, HP19, HP20 and HP18, we just need to know where the van can park. Streets in the area include Market Street, Market Square and High Street, and the van can serve a shoot on any of them with a suitable parking spot.

As one of the bigger places in Buckinghamshire, Aylesbury has lots of places where the van can park.

Planning for dietary needs
We take allergies seriously. Help us by following these steps:

- Send allergies to us in writing
- Add an allergy question to crew forms
- Name a contact in the production office
A short menu keeps the line moving.
Pre-orders from the crew help on tight breaks.
How we price a fish and chip van for the crew
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- How long we serve
- Your choice of menu
- How many people are eating
- Distance and any road charges
The cost per head usually falls as numbers rise, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.
What to tell us
To check availability and price, we need:
- Your date and serving time
- Expected numbers
- A photo of the parking spot
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
To get a price, send us your details through our quote form. Tell us about your shoot in Aylesbury, and we’ll come back with availability and a quote.
Questions from Aylesbury
Can the van go to venues in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We will follow the site rules.
How far is Aylesbury from London?
Roughly 38 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
When do you arrive?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
What can crew choose from?
Chip-shop favourites: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
Can you serve children?
Children are very welcome. Let us know numbers, and we will include them in the plan.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes. We cook inside the van, so food is cooked there and then, rather than made in advance.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.
What if the weather’s bad?
We carry on in the rain, because the cooking happens inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the shoot.
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We’re happy to send a quote so you can compare.
