Film set catering in Charlbury, cooked to order
Shoot days are long, and a hot lunch on time matters. We park at the unit base and cook to order. For fashion shoots on location and period dramas on location, we’ll put together a menu of cod and chips, pie and chips and haddock and chips for your guests.
For a location shoot near Charlbury, base might be in a field or farmyard, so ground conditions matter. We serve from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and service is quick once we’re up and running.

How we price a fish and chip van for the crew
These are the factors that matter most:
- The date and time of year
- How easy the site is to reach
- The minimum booking
- How many people are eating
Got a budget? Let us know, and we’ll suggest how to make it work. Keeping the menu short is generally the best value.
Getting an accurate quote
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what’s useful:
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- The date and time of the event
- Where the event is
- Allergies and diets you know about
Getting a quote is simple: share your date, address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat. We will send a clear quote that says what’s included.
About the food
Curry sauce
Some people will not eat chips without curry sauce, so we bring it along.
Haddock and chips
Haddock has loyal fans: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.
Should I sort the food myself?
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is generally the easier option.
Why choose a fish and chip van in Charlbury?
A wrap party at a venue costs more. A van keeps it relaxed and simple. A chip van often compares well with a plated meal, as there is no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. Ask us for a quote.

Common questions in Charlbury
What’s the nearest station to Charlbury?
Charlbury station, about 0.5 miles west of the centre.
How far is Charlbury from London?
About 65 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Can the van park on the street?
That depends on local parking rules. Off-road parking is usually simpler; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
Do you do wrap parties?
We do. A chip van suits a relaxed wrap party.
Can you cook in the rain?
We cook inside the van, so rain does not stop us. Crew will appreciate cover near the hatch.
Can you feed supporting artists too?
Of course. Let us know total numbers.
What does the van need?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, close to where people will eat, and space for a queue. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Give us your numbers and service window, and we will plan to keep the queue moving.
