About our film set catering in Goose Hill
The van needs level, firm ground at the unit base, and a route the van can manage. For music video shoots and event crews, we’ll put together a menu of sausage and chips, cod and chips and mushy peas and more.
Rural locations near Goose Hill can be a long way from food, so lunch at base matters. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.

Questions from Goose Hill
Is Goose Hill close to London?
About 50 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Do you come out to small places like Goose Hill?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Do you cater wrap parties?
We do. It is a great way to end a shoot.
How do you handle allergies?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Tell us about allergies in advance.
Do you fry it on site?
It is. The fryers are in the van, so it is fried on the spot, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
Can you park on the road outside?
It depends on the road. A drive, car park or yard is typically easier; for the street, check the council’s rules.
Can you serve children?
Of course. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Tell us how many are coming.
Do you do anything other than fish?
Yes: sausages and pies, with chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.

Other occasions in Goose Hill
Should I sort the food myself?
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is usually the easier option.
Planners, venues and businesses
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan service to match. Staggering groups helps a lot.
If you’re booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we will talk you through the process. We’re happy to liaise with facilities on parking and timings.
How the day works
On the day, we position the van, set up the hatch and get the fryers up to temperature. Then everything is fried to order, so we time it to your schedule. Daylight is short on winter shoots near Goose Hill: sunset is about 4:00pm.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance, and how it gets in.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.

What comes out of the fryer
Pie and chips
For a heartier option, there’s pie and chips, perfect with gravy.
Mushy peas
Proper mushy peas start with dried marrowfat peas. They’re the classic side with fish and chips.
Prices and what affects them
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Your choice of menu
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- Numbers
- Service time
Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. Ask us what applies to your shoot.
What to tell us
You don’t need every detail fixed to get a quote, but it helps to know:
- The date and time of the event
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
- Expected numbers
- Allergies and diets you know about
Every quote is worked out for your event. Give us your date first, and we will confirm whether we’re available that day.
Planning the van’s spot
We’ll agree the van’s spot with you before the day. It needs to tick a few simple boxes:
- Light near the van if needed
- A route in the van can manage, with no low branches or tight lanes
- Far enough from set to keep noise down
Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly.
