Planning an event in Baulking?
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. We are happy to send a quote so you can compare.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
How our film set catering works in Baulking
A chip van fits right in at seaside locations. For wrap parties and period dramas on location, we can cook sausage and chips, haddock and chips and mushy peas and more.
Near Baulking, crews may be miles from anywhere to eat, so lunch at base matters. The menu is short on purpose: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.

- The van’s spot is fixed in advance, and how it gets in.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

FAQs for Baulking
Do you come to venues in the North Wessex Downs National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
How far is Baulking from London?
Roughly 63 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Can the van park on the street?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Ask your council early.
Do you do anything other than fish?
We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we will tell you what we can offer.
Can you cater for allergies?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Send us any allergies in writing.
How long are you on site?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. Timings are agreed in advance so food is ready when you want it.
Who clears up?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes. Everything is fried fresh in the van, then handed over hot from the hatch.
For planners, venues and organisers
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Staggering groups helps a lot.
Many venues set rules for catering vans: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will work through them with you.
What the van needs
We’ll be honest if a spot will not work, and help find another. What matters most:
- The location’s agreement
- A hardstanding spot at the unit base
- Clear of the shot and sound
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before booking.
