Fresh fish and chips in Filchampstead
About our film set catering in Filchampstead
Shoot days are long, and a hot lunch on time matters. A fish and chip van parks at the unit base and fries to order. We serve sausage and chips, mushy peas and pie and chips, and we’re frequently booked for commercials and music videos and end-of-shoot parties.
Near Filchampstead, crews may be miles from anywhere to eat, so lunch at base matters. The menu is short on purpose: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.

Filchampstead: your questions answered
Which station is closest to Filchampstead?
The closest is Oxford station, roughly 3.2 miles away.
How far is Filchampstead from London?
About 56 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Where does the van go on location?
Yes, on level ground at base.
What happens if it rains?
Rain does not stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. It is worth planning some cover for the queue.
Is there something for children?
Yes. Children usually love sausage and chips. Include children in your numbers.
Can you adjust to schedule changes?
We can. Tell us the lunch time and a contact on the day, and we will work around changes where we can.
What do we need to supply?
Let us know about power and water at the site when you enquire, and we will say what we need.
Can the van park on the street?
That depends on local parking rules. A drive, car park or yard is usually easier; for the street, check the council’s rules.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We are happy to send a quote so you can compare.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the shoot.
