Film set catering in Fleet Marston, fried fresh
A chip van is a popular crew treat on a long shoot. We serve cod and chips, sausage and chips and pie and chips, and we’re frequently booked for seaside and period locations and fashion shoots on location.
Near Fleet Marston, check tracks and ground for the van. We cook inside the van, right where your crew are, so the batter is still crisp when it’s handed over.

What the van needs

Takeaway run or book a van?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is typically simpler.
