Film set catering in Holyport, cooked to order
Location shoots, commercials and wrap parties all suit a chip van. For crew lunches at base and treat days on a long shoot, we will put together a menu of cod and chips, haddock and chips and sausage and chips.
For a shoot in a place like Holyport, tracks and soft ground need checking with locations. We cook inside the van, right where your crew are, so the batter is still crisp when it’s handed over.

Should I sort the food myself?
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
The process
Serving is straightforward: food goes from the fryer to the hatch, and people can eat where they like. When service is finished, we pack up and leave the pitch tidy. Winter shoots near Holyport chase the light, which goes at about 3:55pm in December.
- The production office sends us the location, dates, numbers and lunch time.
- We check the route and the unit base and send a price.
- We agree the van’s position and arrival with the location manager.
- We cook to order through the crew’s lunch break.
- We pack up straight after service and leave the base tidy.
How to prepare
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Name one person we can call on the day

Your questions about a fish and chip van for the crew in Holyport
Which station is closest to Holyport?
Maidenhead station, about 1.8 miles north of the centre.
Can the van park in Ockwells Park?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Ask them first.
Do we need to provide equipment?
All the cooking happens in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site.
Is grass a problem?
Often, if the ground is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
How fast is service?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we will plan service around it.
What does the van need?
Less than you might think: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, with a clear way in. Send us a picture if you are not sure.
Do you need power or water?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Tell us whether there is power or water nearby and we’ll take it from there.
Is there a non-fish option?
We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we will be honest about what’s possible.
About the food
Gravy
In the north and the Midlands, gravy is the side of choice, and it is lovely with a pie.
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are made from dried marrowfat peas, soaked and cooked until soft. They’re the classic side with fish and chips.
