Film set catering in Enborne, fried fresh
On a long shoot day, a good hot lunch keeps morale up. A fish and chip van parks at the unit base and fries to order. Whether it’s end-of-shoot parties and seaside and period locations, we can cook sausage and chips, pie and chips and cod and chips.
Near Enborne, crews may be miles from anywhere to eat, so a van at base is a big help. Your quote spells out what’s included: serving times, the menu and anything else agreed, with no surprises on the day.

The process
You do not need to do much on the day: point us to the spot and get on with your shoot. We handle the cooking and serving. In December, daylight in Enborne ends around 4:00pm, so a late lunch or wrap at base needs lighting. In summer, light lasts until about 9:25pm.
- First, tell us about your shoot.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for the crew.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.
How to prepare
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Have a level parking spot ready
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. We are happy to send a quote so you can compare.
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 usually simpler.
For planners, venues and organisers
If you are booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we’ll talk you through the process. We are happy to liaise with facilities on parking and timings.
Parks, greens and streets usually need permission for a catering van. Ask the council or landowner early.
Planning for dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Update numbers if they change
- Make sure we can reach locations on the day
- Plan an alternative for anyone we cannot cater for
- Give us a map or what3words for base
We set up at the unit base ahead of lunch.
End the shoot with a chip van wrap.
The menu, dish by dish
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are a must for plenty of fish and chip fans.
Haddock and chips
Haddock has loyal fans: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Tell us if you’d like to offer it.
