Film set catering for your shoot in Hethe
We work with your location manager or production office on access, parking and timings. We serve haddock and chips, cod and chips and pie and chips, and we’re often booked for location filming and event crews.
Rural locations near Hethe can be a long way from food, so lunch at base matters. We keep the menu short: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.

Why choose a fish and chip van in Hethe?
A full location catering unit suits long shoots with three meals a day. A van is great for short jobs and crew treats. A chip van often compares well with a plated meal, as there is no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. We’ll send you a quote.

The menu, dish by dish
Cod and chips
For many people, cod and chips is the definitive version. Cooked fresh at the hatch, it goes out hot and crisp.
Sausage and chips
A sausage and chips is the chip-shop classic for younger crew and fish-dodgers, especially with curry sauce.
For planners, venues and organisers
If you are booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we will explain how it works. We’re happy to liaise with facilities on parking and timings.
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. Ask the council or landowner early.
What the van needs
Plenty of places work for the van, but there are a few things to check:
- Light near the van if needed
- A route in the van can manage, with no low branches or tight lanes
- Away from the shooting area’s sound
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.

Shooting in Hethe: unit bases and access
Hethe is about 4 miles north of Bicester, in Oxfordshire. Shoots in Hethe are planned around your venue and timings: a quote, a parking spot and fresh frying on the day. Hethe is one of 443 towns and villages in Oxfordshire we cover. We serve events right across the region, from Hethe to Oxford (15 miles away).
For crew arriving by train, the nearest station is Bicester North station, about 4 miles south.
This part of Oxfordshire takes in OX27, so your shoot can be anywhere in it. That could mean a shoot at a home on Main Street and Hardwick Road, wherever the van can park. We also bring the van to shoots in Fringford (1 mile south-east), Hardwick (1 mile west), Stoke Lyne (2 miles south-west), Stratton Audley (2 miles south-east) and Caversfield (3 miles south). We also serve nearby towns such as Oxford (15 miles south), Banbury (11 miles north-west), Bicester (4 miles south), Kidlington (12 miles south-west), Headington Quarry (14 miles south) and Bure Park (4 miles south).
Nearby you will also find Bicester Community Hospital (4.6 miles south) and Beaumont Castle (3 miles north).
- Local pubs include Whitmore Arms Public House (under half a mile south-west)
What happens on the day
You do not need to do much on the day: point us to the spot and get on with your shoot. The frying and serving are down to us. In December, daylight in Hethe ends around 3:55pm, so a late lunch or wrap at base needs lighting. In summer, light lasts until about 9:30pm.
- Get in touch with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for the crew.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Before we arrive
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
Ask for a quote
Not sure of numbers yet? No problem: give us a rough idea and the date, and we will quote on that. Start when you are ready: send us your details through our quote form.
