Film set catering for Chisbridge Cross events

How our film set catering works in Chisbridge Cross

Call times change, so give us a contact on the day and we’ll adjust where we can. We’re often asked to cater photo shoots and outside broadcasts, serving pie and chips, sausage and chips and mushy peas.

For a shoot in a place like Chisbridge Cross, tracks and soft ground need checking. We cook inside the van, right where your crew are, so the batter is still crisp when it is handed over.

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet

Some locations have nowhere to buy food. The van solves that. There’s 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.

Why book our van in Chisbridge Cross

  • Hot food handed straight over
  • We cover Chisbridge Cross and the whole of Buckinghamshire
  • No kitchen, no crockery, no washing up
  • Works on wet days as well as sunny ones

See how we price or what a fish and chip van costs.

The process

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. On a winter shoot near Chisbridge Cross, the light goes by about 3:55pm, so a late lunch or wrap at base needs lighting. In summer, light lasts until about 9:25pm.

  1. Contact us with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
  2. Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
  3. Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
  4. The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for the crew.
  5. Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.

Preparing for the day

  • Share the timings for the day
  • Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
  • Keep space clear for crew at the hatch

Choosing a fish and chip van

Allergies and dietary needs

Tell us about dietary needs and allergies early, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible. To make it work smoothly:

  • Share the base location and route
  • Name a contact in the production office
  • Agree the waste plan with locations
  • Add an allergy question to crew forms

We arrive at base in good time and set up.

A chip van wrap party is a great way to finish a shoot.

DIY versus a fish and chip van

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 usually the easier option.
