About our film set catering in Eton
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. Typical bookings include wrap parties and unit base lunches, with cod and chips, mushy peas and pie and chips.
For a shoot in a place like Eton, tracks and soft ground need checking. 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.

Looking after everyone
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Add an allergy question to crew forms
- Update numbers if they change
- Ensure we can reach locations on the day
- Send allergies to us in writing
Tell us if supporting artists are eating.
A gazebo by the van keeps the line dry.
Should I sort the food myself?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your crew instead.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
Your questions about a fish and chip van for the crew in Eton
Do you come out to small places like Eton?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
What’s the nearest station to Eton?
Windsor & Eton Riverside station, about 0.5 miles south of the centre.
How fast is service?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we will plan to keep the queue moving.
Can you park at the unit base?
Normally, if there’s level, firm ground. Locations will decide where.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes. Everything is fried fresh in the van, then handed over hot from the hatch.
What’s on the menu?
Proper fish and chips, plus sausage or pie and chips. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
Can you serve children?
Yes. Children normally love sausage and chips. Tell us how many are coming.
Where do you take the van?
We take the van across London and the South East, including Windsor and Maidenhead. Find your area.
Food your guests will love
Sausage and chips
A sausage and chips is the chip-shop classic for younger crew and fish-dodgers.
Gravy
Chips and gravy is a favourite in the north and the Midlands, and it goes perfectly with a pie.
What affects the price in Eton
We’ll give you a clear quote. The main things that affect it are:
- Any minimum charge
- The number of meals
- Parking and the way in
- How long we serve
Most vans have a minimum charge, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. Ask us what applies to your shoot.
Getting an accurate quote
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- Where the event is
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- A photo of the parking spot
- The spot you have in mind for the van
Not sure of numbers yet? No problem: tell us the basics about your shoot, and we will firm it up nearer the time. To start, use our quote form.
How it works
Rain doesn’t stop the fryers, because the cooking happens inside the van. It’s worth thinking about cover for the queue, though. Daylight is short on winter shoots near Eton: sunset is about 3:55pm, so lunch at base is often in daylight but a wrap meal isn’t.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive in good time to set up.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we’re done.
Getting ready for the day
- Keep space clear for crew at the hatch
- Name one person we can call on the day
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
Ask for a quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send us your details through our quote form. Give us the details of your shoot, and we’ll come back with availability and a quote.
