Film set catering in Henhurst
Takeaway run or book a van?
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
About our film set catering in Henhurst
Location shoots, commercials and wrap parties all suit a chip van. Typical bookings include crew lunches at base and wrap parties, serving haddock and chips, cod and chips and sausage and chips.
Near Henhurst, check tracks and ground for the van. You will know what’s included before you book: the date, the service time and the menu.
Is a fish and chip van right for your shoot?
A wrap party at a venue costs more. A van makes a relaxed wrap. 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. Your quote spells it all out.
What you get with us
- A menu almost everyone likes
- Works on wet days as well as sunny ones
- No kitchen needed
- Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy on the side
Questions from Henhurst
Could you trade in Jeskyns?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council. Ask them first.
Which station is closest to Henhurst?
The closest is Sole Street station, roughly 1.3 miles away.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Let us know about coeliac crew in advance, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible.
How long will the queue be?
Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. Tell us your timings and we’ll advise.
How do you handle allergies?
Let us know about allergies in advance, and we will give you the allergen information.
Can you park on the road outside?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Check with your council first.
Can you feed supporting artists too?
Of course. Let us know total numbers.
Do you bring everything you need?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.
Planning for dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Send allergies to us in writing
- Share the base location and route
- Let us know about coeliac disease
- Update numbers if they change
We set up at the unit base ahead of lunch.

The process
If the plan changes on the day, a quick word is all it takes: we can start a little later or slow the pace. Sunset in Henhurst is about 8:50pm in late May, 9:20pm at midsummer and 7:00pm in late September; for dawn calls or late wraps, plan lighting at base.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance, and how it gets in.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Preparing for the day
- Make sure the van can get in
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day

What comes out of the fryer

What a fish and chip van costs
The price comes down to a few factors:
- The number of meals
- Access and parking
- Whether a minimum applies
- The day of the week
The cost per head usually falls as numbers rise, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we will quote.
What we need to know
To speed things up, tell us:
- Where you’d like the van to go
