About our film set catering in Beaconsfield
Call times change, so a contact on the day helps and we will work around it. We serve mushy peas, pie and chips and sausage and chips, and typical bookings are for lunch at the unit base and treat days on a long shoot.
In a town like Beaconsfield, unit bases are frequently in car parks, school grounds or yards. A chip van fits right in. You’ll know what’s included before you book: the date, the service time and the menu.

A closer look at the menu
Pie and chips
For a heartier option, there is pie and chips.
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips covers anyone who doesn’t want fish, and it is a favourite with children.
Allergies and dietary needs
Nearly every event has some special diets. To plan for them:
- Tell us about coeliac crew specifically
- Ensure we can reach locations on the day
- Ask for dietary needs on the crew info form
- Send the unit base address and directions
Supporting artists and visitors can be included in numbers.
A quick pre-order speeds things up.
What happens on the day
Setting up takes a little while, because the oil has to come up to temperature, so we always arrive well ahead of your serving time. Light in Beaconsfield lasts until about 9:25pm at midsummer; for dawn calls or late wraps, plan lighting at base.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Before we arrive
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Name one person we can call on the day
- Ensure the van can get in

How we price a fish and chip van for the crew
The same numbers can mean different prices, because of:
- Whether a minimum applies
- Access and parking
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- The menu and how many choices
Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so tell us exactly where your shoot is.
Details that help
Good planning starts with a few facts. Try to include:
- The address or venue name
- Your date and serving time
- A picture of where the van would go
- Allergies and diets you know about
We quote for each event separately, so the price fits what you actually need. For a quote, send us your details through our quote form.
For event organisers in Beaconsfield
If you are booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we will explain how it works. We are happy to liaise with facilities on parking and timings.
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Staggering groups helps a lot.
Common questions in Beaconsfield
Is Beaconsfield close to London?
Roughly 25 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Do you come to venues in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We will work to whatever the site needs.
What about crew who do not eat fish?
There is: sausages and pies, with chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
Is the food cooked at the event?
It is. We cook inside the van, so it is fried on the spot, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
Is grass a problem?
Generally, if it’s firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
Can you cater for allergies?
Let us know about allergies in advance, and we’ll give you the allergen information and what we can offer.
Which areas do you serve?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Beaconsfield.
How long does set-up take?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Ordering takeaway to a location is unreliable. A van cooks at the unit base. Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. We set everything out in your quote.
Why book with us
- Something for crew to gather round
- We cover Beaconsfield and the whole of Buckinghamshire
- No kitchen, no crockery, no washing up
