Book the van in Highmoor
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Ordering takeaway to a location is unreliable. The van cooks on site. If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we’ll suggest a menu and timing to match. Keeping the menu short is normally the best value.
What you get with us
- Cod, haddock, sausages and pies
- The classic sides: peas, curry sauce and gravy
- Fish and chips fried fresh on site
- Hot food handed straight over

Film set catering in Highmoor, cooked to order
Locations and the production office can deal with us directly. For treat days on a long shoot and music video shoots, we can cook sausage and chips, haddock and chips and cod and chips for your guests.
Rural locations near Highmoor can be a long way from food, so a van at base is a big help. We serve from the hatch, so it’s hot and generous, and the queue keeps moving.

Henley-On-Thames station, about 4.5 miles east of the centre.
Can you park at the unit base?
Yes, on level ground at base; we’ll check the route.
Do you bring everything you need?
Everything is cooked in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site and we’ll confirm what we need.
Do you have documents for productions?
Every production asks for different things, so send us the list and we’ll go through it.

Events we cater in Highmoor

How we price a fish and chip van for the crew
These are the factors that matter most:
- The menu and how many choices
- The date and time of year
- The minimum booking
- The length of service
Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is frequently good value, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. We’ll send you a quote.
Details that help
For a quote, it helps to have:
- Expected numbers
- A picture of the parking spot
- The spot you have in mind for the van
- Your date and serving time
Still finalising the details? No problem: give us a rough idea and the date, and we will quote on that. Start when you’re ready: send us your details through our quote form.
Should I sort the food myself?
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is normally simpler.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the shoot.
What the van needs
Plenty of places work for the van, but a few things matter:
- Far enough from set to keep noise down
- A queue area clear of trucks
- A route in the van can manage, with no low branches or tight lanes
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.
Popular choices
- Mushy peas
- Haddock and chips
- Pie and chips

Highmoor for film and TV crews
Highmoor is about 4 miles north-west of Henley-on-Thames, in Oxfordshire. Wherever your shoot is in the RG9 area, we can fry fresh for your crew. Highmoor is one of 443 towns and villages in Oxfordshire we cover. Our nearest city page is Reading, about 7 miles away.
Highmoor is roughly 39 miles from central London, within easy reach for London-based crews. Crew coming by rail can use the station: the nearest station is Henley-On-Thames station, about 4.5 miles east. Highmoor is within about 6 miles of the Chilterns National Landscape, so check vehicle rules with locations.
This part of Oxfordshire takes in RG9, and we can serve your shoot anywhere in it. Local streets include The Glebe and Holly Close; a shoot on any of them works well with a drive or nearby car park. Nearby, we also serve shoots in Highmoor Cross (1 mile south-east), Shepherd's Green (1 mile south-east), Catslip (1 mile north-east), Nettlebed (2 miles north) and Kingwood Common (2 miles south). Larger places within reach include Didcot (11 miles west), Abingdon-on-Thames (15 miles north-west), Thame (13 miles north), Henley-on-Thames (4 miles south-east), Benson (6 miles north-west) and Chinnor (11 miles north).
Green spaces nearby include Warburg Nature Reserve.
- Nearby, you’ll find The Dog and Duck pub (0.5 miles north-east)
Allergies and dietary needs
Most events have a few crew with dietary needs. To look after them:
- Tell us about coeliac crew specifically
- Give us a contact for call-time changes
- Agree the waste plan with locations
- Send final numbers the day before
We clear up quickly after lunch.
Bins at base keep the location clean.
For planners, venues and organisers
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Staggering groups helps a lot.
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll work through them with you.
How it works
Rain doesn’t stop the fryers, because the cooking happens inside the van. Crew will still appreciate a bit of cover near the hatch. Winter shoots near Highmoor chase the light, which goes at about 3:55pm in December, so lunch at base is often in daylight but a wrap meal isn’t.
- Tell us what you’re planning and when you’d like to eat.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Getting ready for the day
- Keep space clear for crew at the hatch
- Let us know the serving time
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
How to get a price
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: the parking spot, access, numbers and serving time. A picture of the spot helps too. To send your details, send us your details through our quote form.
