How our film set catering works in Blenheim
We cater location shoots, unit bases, commercials, music videos and wrap parties. We serve pie and chips, haddock and chips and cod and chips, and we’re regularly asked to cater photo shoots and treat days on a long shoot.
Rural locations near Blenheim can be a long way from food, so lunch at base matters. The menu is short on purpose: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.

What else we do in Blenheim
Is a fish and chip van right for your shoot?
Takeaway rarely reaches a location hot. The van cooks on site. Cost depends on numbers, menu and service time, plus travel and access. We quote for each booking individually.
Why book with us
- Classic food your crew already know
- All the chip-shop extras
- We cook inside the van, whatever the weather
- Nothing for you to cook or clear
Read how we price and what a fish and chip van costs.
What affects the price in Blenheim
The price comes down to a few factors:
- The day of the week
- How long we serve
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- Numbers
There is no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. Your quote spells it all out.
Getting an accurate quote
You do not need everything decided to ask for a quote, but these help:
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- Your date and serving time
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
- Roughly how many people, including children
Send us the date, the address or OX44 postcode and rough numbers, plus when you’d like to eat, and you’ll get a clear price. To get started, fill in our quote form.

How the day works
The van needs a level, firm spot it can drive onto, near your crew, and we agree exactly where before the day. Winter shoots near Blenheim chase the light, which goes at about 3:55pm in December, so lunch at base is frequently in daylight but a wrap meal isn’t.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
Getting ready for the day
- Share the timings for the day
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park

Should I sort the food myself?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the shoot.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your crew instead.
