About our film set catering in Curbridge
The van needs level, firm ground at the unit base, and a clear route in. We serve sausage and chips, mushy peas and cod and chips, and typical bookings are for live events and broadcasts and location shoots.
Near Curbridge, crews may be miles from anywhere to eat, so a van at base is a big help. We bring the van and everything we need to cook, and we leave the pitch tidy when we go.

A closer look at the menu
Curry sauce
The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, perfect with chips or a sausage.
Gravy
Chips and gravy is a favourite in the north and the Midlands, and it is lovely with a pie.

Prices and what affects them
There is nothing hidden: the quote reflects:
- The number of meals
- Distance and any road charges
- Parking and the way in
- The length of service
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. Every booking gets its own quote.
Getting an accurate quote
You don’t need every detail fixed to get a quote, but these help:
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Where the van would park
- Expected numbers
It is easy to get a price: share your date, address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat. We’ll come back with a clear quote.
Step by step
We do not cook ahead. Each portion is battered and fried as it’s ordered, which is why it tastes like it does at the seaside. Daylight is short on winter shoots near Curbridge: sunset is about 3:55pm, so lunch at base is often in daylight but a wrap meal isn’t.
- Get in touch with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for the crew.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Preparing for the day
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue

Should I sort the food myself?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is usually the easier option.
Your questions about a fish and chip van for the crew in Curbridge
Is Curbridge close to London?
Roughly 64 miles from the centre of London.
Is Curbridge too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can you feed supporting artists too?
Yes, include them in numbers. Tell us the day before.
Who clears up?
The pitch is left as we found it. Bins for crew are worth planning.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Give us your numbers and service window, and we will plan to keep the queue moving.
What if we only have street parking?
It depends on the road. Off-road parking is typically simpler; for the street, check the council’s rules.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
Often, if the ground is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
Do you come to Curbridge?
We do. Curbridge is one of the places we cover. Send us your date to check availability.
