About our film set catering in Gerrards Cross
We need a level, firm spot at base, and a clear route in. Typical bookings include period dramas on location and location filming, with cod and chips, sausage and chips and mushy peas.
For a location shoot near Gerrards Cross, base might be in a field or farmyard. We keep the menu short: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.

A chip van compared with other options
Takeaway rarely reaches a location hot. The van cooks on site. There’s no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. We set everything out in your quote.
Why us?
- Bookings across Buckinghamshire, including Gerrards Cross
- Classic food your crew already know
- All the chip-shop extras
- A van that becomes part of the event

How the day works
The van turns up at the agreed time, parks where we agreed. When the fryers are up to heat, service starts at the time you asked for. In December, daylight in Gerrards Cross ends around 3:55pm, so a late lunch or wrap at base needs lighting. In summer, light lasts until about 9:25pm.
- We start with the location, call times and crew numbers.
- We check access and send a quote.
- We agree the van’s position and arrival with the location manager.
- We serve hot from the hatch when lunch is called.
- We clear up and get out of the way.
Getting ready for the day
- Have a level parking spot ready
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue

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. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
