About our film set catering in Cuddesdon
We work with your location manager or production office on access, parking and timings. Popular choices include mushy peas, cod and chips and sausage and chips, and we’re frequently booked for end-of-shoot parties and fashion shoots on location.
For a shoot in a place like Cuddesdon, tracks and soft ground need checking with locations. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet.

- A queue area clear of trucks
- Agreement from the location manager and landowner
- A lit spot for dark mornings or evenings

Cuddesdon: your questions answered
Do you come out to small places like Cuddesdon?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
How far is Cuddesdon from London?
About 47 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Do you have allergen information?
Tell us about allergies when you book, and we’ll give you the allergen information and what we can offer.
What does it cost to hire the van?
We quote for each booking, based on your numbers and timings. Give us your date, numbers and serving time for a clear quote.
Do you do wrap parties?
Yes. It is a great way to end a shoot.
Is everything cooked fresh?
It is. The fryers are in the van, so it’s fried on the spot, rather than made in advance.
What paperwork do you provide?
Send us your supplier requirements.
Do you do anything other than fish?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Tell us about other diets and we will be honest about what’s possible.
Organising for someone else?
If you’re booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we’ll explain how it works. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can hold the date.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is usually simpler.
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.
Prices and what affects them
These are the factors that matter most:
- The menu and how many choices
- The minimum booking
- Parking and the way in
- How far we travel
Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so it helps to give us the postcode.
Getting an accurate quote
You do not need every detail fixed to get a quote, but these help:
- Allergies and diets you know about
- A photo of the space and the way in
- Expected numbers
- The venue or postcode
It is easy to get a price: share your date, address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat. We’ll send a clear quote that says what’s included.
A chip van compared with other options
Many locations are miles from shops. The van solves that. Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is often good value, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. Ask us for a quote.

How the day works
We do not cook ahead. Fish is battered and fried when people come up to the hatch, so it is as fresh as from any chip shop. Light in Cuddesdon lasts until about 9:25pm at midsummer; for early or late service, base needs lighting.
- It starts with the unit base, dates and numbers.
- You get an access check and a quote.
- We arrange the van’s spot at the unit base with locations.
- We cook to order through the crew’s lunch break.
- Afterwards we pack up and leave the unit base clean.
Preparing for the day
- Keep space clear for crew at the hatch
- Ensure the van can get in
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
