Your questions about a fish and chip van for the crew in Eastbury
Do you come to venues in the North Wessex Downs National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We will work to whatever the site needs.
Is Eastbury close to London?
Roughly 60 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
What will the production need?
Productions vary, so send us the list and we’ll go through it.
Which areas do you serve?
We cover London and the South East, including West Berkshire. See all areas.
Can the van park on the street?
That depends on local parking rules. A drive, car park or yard is typically easier; for the street, check the council’s rules.
Can you serve children?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Tell us how many children, and we’ll include them in the plan.
Can you feed visitors on set?
Yes, if they’re in your numbers. Tell us the day before.
How long will the queue be?
A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. We’ll talk it through when we quote.
Film set catering for your shoot in Eastbury
We cater location shoots, unit bases, commercials, music videos and wrap parties. We are often asked to cater ad shoots and treat days on a long shoot, with haddock and chips, sausage and chips and pie and chips.
For a shoot in a place like Eastbury, tracks and soft ground need checking. You’ll know what’s included before booking: the date, the service time and the menu, with no surprises on the day.

- Cod, haddock or both
- The minimum booking
Most vans have a minimum charge, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. We will tell you up front.

A closer look at the menu
Mushy peas
Proper mushy peas start with dried marrowfat peas. They’re the side most people expect.
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it’s the favourite in much of the south. It’s battered and fried to order.

- We check access and send a quote.
- We agree the van’s position and arrival with the location manager.
