About our film set catering in Beamond End
We work with your location manager or production office on access, parking and timings. Whether it is crew treats on long shoot days and commercials and music videos, we will put together a menu of sausage and chips, pie and chips and haddock and chips and more.
Near Beamond End, crews may be miles from anywhere to eat, so a van at base is a big help. We serve from the hatch, so it’s hot and generous, and service is quick once we’re up and running.

How we price a fish and chip van for the crew
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, depending on:
- Numbers
- How long we serve
- Parking and the way in
- Cod, haddock or both
A chip van frequently compares well with a plated meal, as there’s no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. We’ll send you a quote.
Getting an accurate quote
The more we know about your shoot, the better we can plan. Please include:
- The venue or postcode
- Allergies and diets you know about
- A picture of the parking spot
- Anything awkward about the way in
Every quote is worked out for your event. Start with your date, and we will confirm whether we’re available that day.
Should I sort the food myself?
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is usually simpler.

The process
We need a level, firm place to park the van, close to where people will eat, and we agree exactly where before the day. Light in Beamond End lasts until about 9:25pm at midsummer; for early or late service, base needs lighting.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- We come back with availability and a clear 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.
How to prepare
- Give us a contact for the day
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain

Questions from Beamond End
Is Beamond End too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can the van go to venues in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes, always. We fry to order in the van at your venue, and serve straight from the hatch.
How long does set-up take?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
Who clears up?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
What happens if it rains?
Rain doesn’t stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. It’s worth planning some cover for the queue.
Is there something for children?
Of course. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Tell us how many are coming.
Can the van come to our wrap?
Yes, and crews love it. Send us the date and place.
