About our film set catering in Clanfield
A van can get a crew fed quickly within the lunch break, with no kitchen needed on site. Typical bookings include treat days on a long shoot and shoots on location, with sausage and chips, haddock and chips and mushy peas.
For a shoot in a place like Clanfield, tracks and soft ground need checking with locations. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, not cooked earlier and kept warm, and served the moment it comes out of the fryer.

Step by step
Setting up takes a little while, because the oil has to come up to temperature, so we are there in good time before you want to eat. In December, daylight in Clanfield ends around 4:00pm, so the unit base needs lighting for late service. Summer shoots have daylight until about 9:30pm.
- Tell us what you are planning and when you’d like to eat.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks, and how it gets in.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
How to prepare
- Have a level parking spot ready
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
- Keep space clear for crew at the hatch

Planning help
Clanfield: your questions answered
Do you come out to small places like Clanfield?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Is Clanfield close to London?
Roughly 66 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Can the van park on the street?
Only where it’s legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Check with your council first.
Can you cook in the rain?
Rain doesn’t stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. Crew will appreciate cover near the hatch.
What if lunch moves?
We expect changes. Keep us updated and we’ll adapt.
Can you serve children?
Of course. Children generally love sausage and chips. Include children in your numbers.
Which areas do you serve?
We take the van across London and the South East, Oxfordshire included. See all areas.
Can the van park on grass?
Frequently, if the ground is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
Prices and what affects them
Your quote will be clear. What affects it most:
- The minimum booking
- The day of the week
- How easy the site is to reach
- How long we serve
If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we’ll suggest how to make it work. Keeping the menu short is normally the best value.
What we need to know
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what to include:
- The spot you have in mind for the van
- Roughly how many people, including children
- A picture of where the van would go
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
It’s easy to get a price: share your date, address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat. We will come back with a clear quote.
Should I sort the food myself?
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
About the food
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.
Gravy
In the north and the Midlands, gravy is the side of choice, and it goes perfectly with a pie.
What the van needs
We’ll agree the van’s spot with you before the day. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- A route in the van can manage, with no low branches or tight lanes
- A queue area clear of trucks
- Away from the shooting area’s sound
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.
From the hatch
- Pie and chips
- Crew lunches
- Sausage and chips

A fish and chip van or other catering?
A full location catering unit suits long shoots with three meals a day. A chip van suits short shoots and treat days. 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. Your quote spells it all out.

Organising for someone else?

Parks, greens and streets normally need permission for a catering van. Ask the council or landowner early.
