Film set catering in Higher Denham, fried fresh
Fried-to-order service suits a lunch break, without needing a kitchen on location. On the menu are cod and chips, sausage and chips and pie and chips, and we are often booked for location shoots and event crews.
Near Higher Denham, check tracks and ground for the van. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your shoot, so the batter is still crisp when it is handed over.

Planning a shoot in Higher Denham
Higher Denham is about 4 miles north-west of Hillingdon, in Buckinghamshire. From the centre of Higher Denham to the outskirts, the service works the same way: fresh frying, hot food from the hatch and a clear price. We take the van to all 263 towns and villages in Buckinghamshire. Our nearest city page is London, about 19 miles away.
Within reach of Higher Denham are historic houses such as Ickenham Hall (3.6 miles east). Period locations like these usually keep vehicles well away from the house, so agree the base early. For cast and crew travelling by train, Denham Golf Club station is in Higher Denham itself.
Anywhere in UB9, we can fry fresh for your crew. From Upper Road, Lower Road and Slade Oak Lane or a nearby road, we can park up and fry there. For shoots just outside Higher Denham, we cover Baker's Wood (1 mile south), Tatling End (1 mile south-west), Rush Green (1 mile south), Gerrards Cross (2 miles west) and Fulmer (2 miles south-west). We also serve nearby towns such as High Wycombe (10 miles west), Chesham (10 miles north-west), Marlow (11 miles west), Amersham (8 miles north-west), Beaconsfield (6 miles west) and Hazlemere (9 miles north-west).

- Pubs nearby include Toby Carvery pub (0.6 miles south-west)
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your crew instead.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
Before you choose a spot
A good parking spot makes the whole thing easier. We look for:
- Room for the crew to queue
- Clear of the shot and sound
- Access checked by locations
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.
From the hatch
- Pie and chips
- Cod and chips
- Mushy peas

Step by step
We arrive in good time before you want to eat, park the van and get the fryers going. Crew generally gather round the hatch as soon as we open.

- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
