About our film set catering in Denton
We need a level, firm spot at base, and a route the van can manage. We serve sausage and chips, cod and chips and haddock and chips, and typical bookings are for crew treats on long shoot days and wrap celebrations.
Near Denton, 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.

Planning for dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs and allergies early, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible. To get it right:
- Flag any coeliac crew
- Agree how the base is left
- Update numbers if they change
- Ask for dietary needs on the crew info form
Used oil leaves with the van.
Pre-orders from the crew help on tight breaks.
Before you choose a spot
We will agree the van’s spot with you before the day. It needs to tick a few simple boxes:
- The location’s agreement
- Away from the shooting area’s sound
- Access checked by locations
Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly.

What’s the nearest station to Denton?
Radley station, about 4.9 miles south-west of the centre.
What’s on the menu?
Proper fish and chips, plus sausage or pie and chips. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.
Is there something for children?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Let us know numbers, and we’ll include them in the plan.
What about crew who do not eat fish?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we’ll tell you what we can offer.

Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Tell us about coeliac crew when you enquire, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer.

Level, firm ground the van can reach, near your crew, with room for a queue at the hatch. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.

For event organisers in Denton

If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can hold the date.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is normally simpler.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your crew instead.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Wrap parties add up. A van makes a relaxed wrap. Comparing vans? Look at what each quote includes: hours, menu, travel, minimum charge and VAT. Our quotes spell it all out.

The process
We arrive on time, pulls onto the spot you’ve chosen and the hatch goes up. Once the oil is hot, the first portions go out right on schedule. At midsummer, Denton has light until about 9:25pm, while by late September it’s nearer 7:10pm.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for the crew.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Preparing for the day
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
Ask for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: the parking spot, access, numbers and serving time. A photo of the spot helps too. To send your details, fill in our quote form.
