Film set catering for your shoot in Frimley
On a long job, a chip van day is a morale boost. We serve cod and chips, haddock and chips and mushy peas, and we’re frequently booked for outside broadcasts and location filming.
Shoots in Frimley often base in car parks. The van suits any of them. We cook inside the van, right where your crew are, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.

Space, access and the venue
A fish and chip van is a vehicle, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way. Here’s what we look for:
- Space in front of the hatch
- Agreement from the location manager and landowner
- A lit spot for dark mornings or evenings
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before booking.
What we serve
- Haddock and chips
- Cod and chips
- Mushy peas
- Sausage and chips
- Pie and chips
- Crew lunches
Allergies and dietary needs
Allergies are taken seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Let us know about coeliac disease
- Have a back-up for special diets
- Add an allergy question to crew forms
- Put allergy details in writing
We set up at the unit base ahead of lunch.
Cover near the hatch helps on wet days.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Many locations are miles from shops. The van solves that. Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. Your quote spells it all out.

The menu, dish by dish

For planners, venues and organisers
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can hold the date.
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Staggering groups helps a lot.
How we price a fish and chip van for the crew
The same numbers can mean different prices, depending on:
- Cod, haddock or both
- The minimum booking
- The length of service
- How far we travel
A chip van often compares well with a plated meal, as there’s no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. We’ll send you a quote.
What we need to know
You don’t need everything decided to ask for a quote, but these help:
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
- A photo of the space and the way in
- Your date and serving time
- The address or venue name
Getting a quote is simple: tell us the date, place, numbers and serving time. We will come back with a clear quote.
What happens on the day
Serving is straightforward: everything is handed over hot from the hatch. Afterwards we pack up. Winter shoots near Frimley chase the light, which goes at about 3:55pm in December, so lunch at base is often in daylight but a wrap meal is not.
- 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.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.
Getting ready for the day
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Plan where the queue will stand
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
Ask for a quote
We only need a few details to quote: the date, where the van would park, roughly how many people and when you’d like to eat. You can fill in our quote form.
