Fresh fish and chips in Enton Green
How the day works
Here’s how the day generally runs: the van arrives and we set up, the oil comes up to temperature, and food goes out hot when you’re ready to eat. On a winter shoot near Enton Green, the light goes by about 3:55pm, so the unit base needs lighting for late service. In summer, light lasts until about 9:20pm.
- 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.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.
Before we arrive
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Share the timings for the day

How our film set catering works in Enton Green
A chip van is a popular crew treat on a long shoot. Popular choices include sausage and chips, pie and chips and haddock and chips, and we are regularly asked to cater crew morale days and shoots on location.
Near Enton Green, crews may be miles from anywhere to eat, so lunch at base matters. 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.

Questions from Enton Green
Can the van go to venues in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We’ll follow the site rules.
Is Enton Green too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
What can crew choose from?
Chip-shop favourites: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
What does it cost to hire the van?
It depends on numbers, the menu, how long we serve and travel. Tell us about your shoot and we’ll send a quote.
What will the production need?
Productions vary, so ask your production office for the list.
Can you work to the call sheet?
We can. Give us a contact for changes, and we will adjust where possible.
Do you do wrap parties?
Yes. It is a great way to end a shoot.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Children are very welcome. Let us know numbers, and we will include them in the plan.
For planners, venues and organisers
Many venues set rules for catering vans: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will work through them with you.
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan service to match. Sending people up in groups helps.
Why choose film set catering in Enton Green?

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
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 typically simpler.
Allergies and dietary needs
Allergies are taken seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Have a back-up for special diets
- Plan bins and waste at base
- Send the unit base address and directions
- Give us a contact for call-time changes
Fewer choices mean faster service in a lunch break.
A chip van wrap party is a great way to finish a shoot.
Where the van can park in Enton Green
Every site is different, so we ask about the spot and the way in when you contact us. Generally, we look for:
- Lighting for early or late service
- Away from the shooting area’s sound
- Room for the crew to queue
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
Popular choices
- Haddock and chips
- Pie and chips
- Cod and chips
- Mushy peas
- Crew lunches
- Sausage and chips
The menu, dish by dish
Haddock and chips
Some people swear by haddock: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Tell us if you’d like to offer it.
Pie and chips
For a heartier option, there is pie and chips.
Is a fish and chip van right for your shoot?
A full location catering unit suits long shoots with three meals a day. A chip van suits short shoots and treat days. The cost per head generally falls as numbers rise, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
