Film set catering for your shoot in Eton Wick
A van can get a crew fed quickly within the lunch break, without needing a kitchen on location. Popular choices include sausage and chips, pie and chips and mushy peas, and typical bookings are for stills shoots and ad shoots.
Rural locations near Eton Wick can be a long way from food, so a van at base is a big help. We bring the van and everything we need to cook, and we leave the pitch tidy when we go.

For planners, venues and organisers
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan service to match. Staggering groups helps a lot.
Organising a club, school or community event in Eton Wick? Fish and chips is a reliable crowd-pleaser. Tell us about the event and we will take it from there.
Step by step
We work to your timings. If things run late, we hold off cooking until you’re ready, so the food is still fresh when it is served. Daylight is short on winter shoots near Eton Wick: sunset is about 3:55pm, so lunch at base is often in daylight but a wrap meal is not.
- 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.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for the crew.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
How to prepare
- Name one person we can call on the day
- Plan where the queue will stand
- Have a level parking spot ready

Questions from Eton Wick
Can the van park in Sutherland Grange?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
How far is Eton Wick from London?
About 23 miles from central London.
How much does a fish and chip van for the crew cost in Eton Wick?
It depends on numbers, the menu, how long we serve and travel. Send us the details for a quote.
Where can the van park?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, close to where people will eat, with room for a queue at the hatch. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
How long will the queue be?
Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. We’ll talk it through when we quote.
Where does the van go on location?
Yes, on level ground at base; we will check the route.
Do you cover Eton Wick?
We do. Eton Wick is one of the places we cover. Send us your date to check availability.
When do you arrive?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. We will agree arrival and serving times with you.
Before you choose a spot
We will agree the van’s spot with you before the day. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- The location’s agreement
- Away from the shooting area’s sound
- A lit spot for dark mornings or evenings
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Popular choices
- Mushy peas
- Pie and chips
- Crew lunches
- Haddock and chips

What you get with us
- The queue at the hatch gets people talking
- The classic sides: peas, curry sauce and gravy

What comes out of the fryer
Sausage and chips
A sausage and chips is the chip-shop classic for younger crew and fish-dodgers.
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it is the favourite in much of the south. It is battered and fried to order.

Looking after everyone
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Give us a contact for call-time changes
- Collect diets and allergies with crew details
- Send final numbers the day before
- Give us a map or what3words for base
After service, we pack up and get out of the way.
Cover near the hatch helps on wet days.
Should I sort the food myself?
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.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
