Film set catering for Enstone events
Working with your venue
Parks, greens and streets typically need permission for a catering van. Ask the council or landowner early.
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Staggering groups helps a lot.
Film set catering in Enstone, cooked to order
Food is fried to order, so it is hot when the break is called. Whether it’s period dramas on location and commercials and music videos, we can cook sausage and chips, pie and chips and cod and chips for your guests.
Rural locations near Enstone can be a long way from food, so a van at base is a big help. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your shoot, so the batter is still crisp when it’s handed over.

A chip van compared with other options

Planning a shoot in Enstone
Enstone is about 9 miles north of Witney, in Oxfordshire. We take a fish and chip van for the crew to homes, halls, workplaces and venues in Enstone and the surrounding area. Enstone is one of 443 places in Oxfordshire where we bring the van. Our nearest city page is Oxford, about 15 miles away.
For cast and crew travelling by train, the closest railway station is Charlbury station, roughly 3.3 miles south-west of the centre.
We cover shoots in every part of the OX7 postcode area and the streets around it. Whether your shoot is on Oxford Road, Venvell Close and Chapel Lane or a nearby road, we’ll bring the van to you. We also bring the van to shoots in Church Enstone (1 mile north), Kiddington (2 miles east), Little Tew (3 miles north), Great Tew (3 miles north) and Swerford (4 miles north). Further out, we also take the van to Oxford (15 miles south-east), Banbury (11 miles north-east), Bicester (13 miles east), Witney (9 miles south), Carterton (12 miles south-west) and Kidlington (10 miles south-east).
A little further out are Old Forge Museum (Great Tew) (3.4 miles north). Within reach you will find Blenheim Farm.
- Pubs nearby include The Harrow Inn (under half a mile north)
Diets, allergies and planning
Nearly every event has some special diets. To look after them:
- Make sure we can reach locations on the day
- Have a back-up for special diets
- Agree how the base is left
- Confirm numbers the day before
We work to the lunch time on the call sheet, with a contact for changes.
Cover near the hatch helps on wet days.
How it works
You do not need to do much on the day: show us the spot, tell us when to start, and enjoy your shoot. We handle the cooking and serving. Daylight is short on winter shoots near Enstone: sunset is about 3:55pm, so lunch at base is frequently in daylight but a wrap meal isn’t.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check the route in and send a price.
- We arrive in good time to set up.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.
Getting ready for the day
- Plan where the queue will stand
- Make sure the van can get in
- Let us know the serving time

Your questions about a fish and chip van for the crew in Enstone
Do you come out to small places like Enstone?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
What’s the nearest station to Enstone?
The closest is Charlbury station, roughly 3.3 miles away.
What if we only have street parking?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Ask your council early.
Do you do wrap parties?
Yes, it is a popular wrap. Send us the date and place.
What does it cost to hire the van?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and travel. Send us the details for a quote.
How long does set-up take?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
What does the van need?
Less than you might think: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, with a clear way in. Send us a picture if you’re not sure.
Is everything cooked fresh?
It is. We cook inside the van, so it’s fried on the spot, rather than made in advance.
What a fish and chip van costs
There’s nothing hidden: the price is based on:
- Your choice of menu
- Whether a minimum applies
- The date and time of year
- How easy the site is to reach
There’s no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. Your quote spells it all out.
Getting an accurate quote
You do not need everything decided to ask for a quote, but it helps to know:
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Roughly how many people, including children
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- A picture of the parking spot
Getting a quote is simple: tell us the date, place, numbers and serving time. We’ll send a clear quote that says what’s included.

What else we do in Enstone
Before you choose a spot
A fish and chip van is a vehicle, so the spot matters, so a few things need checking. Here’s what we look for:
- Far enough from set to keep noise down
- A lit spot for dark mornings or evenings
- Room for the crew to queue
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
On the menu in Enstone
- Crew lunches
- Pie and chips
- Haddock and chips
- Mushy peas
- Cod and chips
- Sausage and chips
Should I sort the food myself?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is typically the easier option.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your crew instead.
A closer look at the menu
Haddock and chips
Haddock has loyal fans: a firmer flake and a sweeter taste. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it is what most people in the south ask for. It’s battered and fried to order.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
