About our film set catering in Highmoor Cross
Location shoots, commercials and wrap parties all suit a chip van. On the menu are sausage and chips, cod and chips and haddock and chips, and we’re regularly asked to cater photo shoots and treat days on a long shoot.
Rural locations near Highmoor Cross can be a long way from food, so lunch at base matters. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your shoot, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.

Planners, venues and businesses
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan service to match. Sending people up in groups helps.

Other occasions in Highmoor Cross
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We’re happy to send a quote so you can compare.

FAQs for Highmoor Cross

Is Highmoor Cross close to London?
Roughly 39 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.

How much is fish and chip van hire?
Every booking is quoted individually, so the price fits what you need. Tell us your date and rough numbers and we’ll reply with a price.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Tell us about coeliac crew when you enquire, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer.
Where can the van park?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, close to where people will eat, and space for a queue. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
How fast is service?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Give us your numbers and service window, and we’ll plan service around it.
How long are you on site?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
What happens on the day
Nothing is cooked before it is needed. Fish is battered and fried when people come up to the hatch, which is why it tastes like it does at the seaside. Winter shoots near Highmoor Cross chase the light, which goes at about 3:55pm in December, so lunch at base is frequently in daylight but a wrap meal isn’t.
- The production office sends us the location, dates, numbers and lunch time.
- We check access and send a quote.
- We agree the van’s position and arrival with the location manager.
- We cook to order through the crew’s lunch break.
- We clear up and get out of the way.
How to prepare
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Give us a contact for the day
- Ensure the van can get in
