How our film set catering works in Greenham
Seaside and period locations suit a fish and chip van perfectly. For wrap celebrations and location filming, we’ll put together a menu of sausage and chips, haddock and chips and cod and chips for your guests.
Near Greenham, crews may be miles from anywhere to eat, so a van at base is a big help. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we will be straight with you about what we can do before booking.

Is a fish and chip van right for your shoot?
Next to a sandwich lunch, hot fish and chips is a real lunch. There is 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?
- Fish and chips fried fresh on site
- Quick service from the hatch
- All the chip-shop extras
- We cook inside the van, whatever the weather
Read our pricing and the cost guide.
What happens on the day
Setting up takes a little while, because the oil has to come up to temperature, so we are there in good time before you want to eat. Sunset in Greenham is about 8:55pm in late May, 9:25pm at midsummer and 7:10pm in late September; for early or late service, base needs lighting.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for the crew.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Preparing for the day
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Name one person we can call on the day
Ask for a quote
We only need a few details to quote: date, address, numbers and serving time. To send them, use our quote form.

Allergies and dietary needs
We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible. To make it work smoothly:
- Arrange something for anyone with needs we can’t meet
- Share the base location and route
- Let us know about coeliac disease
- Confirm numbers the day before
We set up at the unit base ahead of lunch.
Bins at base keep the location clean.

Your questions about a fish and chip van for the crew in Greenham
Is Greenham close to London?
Roughly 53 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Can the van park in Sandleford Priory?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Check with them first.
Where does the van go on location?
Generally, with a level spot. We will agree the spot with your location manager.
How much does a fish and chip van for the crew cost in Greenham?
It depends on numbers, the menu, how long we serve and travel. Send us the details for a quote.
Can you park on the road outside?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Ask your council early.
What will the production need?
Send us your supplier requirements.
Do you cater wrap parties?
Yes, it’s a popular wrap. Send us the date and place.
Can you adjust to schedule changes?
We expect changes. Keep us updated and we will adapt.
A closer look at the menu
Pie and chips
Pie and chips gives people a filling alternative to fish, perfect with gravy.
Sausage and chips
A sausage and chips is the chip-shop classic for younger crew and fish-dodgers, especially with curry sauce.
Should I sort the food myself?
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.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
What a fish and chip van costs
Your quote will be clear. What affects it most:
- Service time
- How many people are eating
- Distance and any road charges
- Cod, haddock or both
When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: hours, menu, travel, minimum charge and VAT. We set ours out clearly.
What we need to know
Good planning starts with a few facts. Try to include:
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- The spot you have in mind for the van
- The date and time of the event
- A photo of the space and the way in
Not sure of numbers yet? That’s fine: give us a rough idea and the date, and we will quote on that. Start when you’re ready: use our quote form.
Organising for someone else?
For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
Parks, greens and streets generally need permission for a catering van. Ask the council or landowner early.
