Film set catering in Camberley, fried fresh
We need a level, firm spot at base, and a route the van can manage. Typical bookings include stills shoots and end-of-shoot parties, with haddock and chips, mushy peas and pie and chips.
In Camberley, send us the base location. You’ll know what’s included before you book: serving times, the menu and anything else agreed.
The process
We arrive in good time before you want to eat, set up and bring the oil up to temperature. Crew typically gather round the hatch as soon as we open. On a winter shoot near Camberley, the light goes by about 3:55pm, so the unit base needs lighting for late service. In summer, light lasts until about 9:25pm.
- Get in touch with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for the crew.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Before we arrive
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
- Get permission for the van from the venue
- Keep space clear for crew at the hatch

About the food
Pie and chips
Pie and chips gives people a filling alternative to fish.
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.
Before you choose a spot
Every site is different, so we ask about the spot and the way in before we confirm. In general, we need:
- Access checked by locations
- Light near the van if needed
- Clear of the shot and sound
Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly.

Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is typically the easier option.
What a fish and chip van costs
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Your choice of menu
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- How many people are eating
- Whether a minimum applies
There is no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. We set everything out in your quote.
What we need to know
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what’s useful:
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
- The date and time of the event
- Allergies and diets you know about
- The spot you have in mind for the van
Every quote is worked out for your event. Start with your date, and we will check availability straight away.
For event organisers in Camberley
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan service to match. Staggering groups helps a lot.
If you’re booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we will talk you through the process. We are happy to liaise with facilities on parking and timings.
