Film set catering in Clanfield, cooked to order
On a long job, a chip van day is a morale boost. For stills shoots and location shoots, we will put together a menu of mushy peas, cod and chips and sausage and chips.
For a shoot in a place like Clanfield, tracks and soft ground need checking. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your shoot, so the batter is still crisp when it is handed over.

Where the van can park in Clanfield
If a spot isn’t suitable, we will tell you, and suggest an alternative. What matters most:
- A hardstanding spot at the unit base
- Light near the van if needed
- Room for the crew to queue
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.

- Pie and chips

How we price a fish and chip van for the crew
These are the factors that matter most:
- The day of the week
- The number of meals
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- Your choice of menu
Most vans have a minimum charge, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. Ask us what applies to your shoot.
Getting an accurate quote
To speed things up, tell us:
- Allergies and diets you know about
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- Where you’d like the van to go
Every quote is worked out for your event. Give us your date first, and we will check availability right away.
Should I sort the food myself?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the shoot.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Planning for dietary needs
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. Our advice:
- Have a back-up for special diets
- Flag any coeliac crew
- Agree the waste plan with locations
- Ask for dietary needs on the crew info form
Supporting artists and visitors can be included in numbers.
A gazebo by the van keeps the line dry.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
