Film set catering for your shoot in Coxhill Green
We work with your location manager or production office on access, parking and timings. We serve pie and chips, mushy peas and sausage and chips, and typical bookings are for location filming and wrap parties.
Near Coxhill Green, crews may be miles from anywhere to eat, so a van at base is a big help. Everything is fried fresh at your shoot, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet, and served the moment it comes out of the fryer.
Space, access and the venue
A good parking spot makes the whole thing easier. We look for:
- A queue area clear of trucks
- Lighting for early or late service
- Permission for the van at base
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
What we serve
- Cod and chips
- Crew lunches
- Haddock and chips
- Pie and chips
- Mushy peas
- Sausage and chips
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Ordering takeaway to a location is unreliable. The van cooks on site. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. We quote for each booking individually.
Why us?
- Fried fresh, not kept warm
- A clear quote before booking
- Events in Coxhill Green and across Surrey
- The classic sides: peas, curry sauce and gravy

DIY versus a fish and chip van
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the shoot.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
