How our film set catering works in Horsenden
Schedules move, so give us a contact on the day and we’ll work around it. Popular choices include pie and chips, haddock and chips and mushy peas, and we’re regularly asked to cater unit base lunches and event crews.
For a shoot in a place like Horsenden, tracks and soft ground need checking. Food is served straight from the hatch, so it is hot and generous, and the queue keeps moving.

Prices and what affects them
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Access and parking
- The date and time of year
- Any minimum charge
- The number of meals
Most vans have a minimum charge, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. We’ll tell you up front.
What to tell us
You do not need every detail fixed to get a quote, but these help:
- The date and time of the event
- Dietary needs, with numbers
- A picture of where the van would go
- The address or venue name

A fish and chip van or other catering?
Compared with sandwiches on set, a chip van gives the crew a proper hot meal. Distance and any road charges make a difference, so tell us exactly where your shoot is.
Why us?
- We cook inside the van, whatever the weather
- The classic sides: peas, curry sauce and gravy
- Bookings across Buckinghamshire, including Horsenden
- Nothing for you to cook or clear
Take a look at our pricing and the cost guide.
Planning for dietary needs
We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible. To make it work smoothly:
- Let us know about coeliac disease
- Arrange something for anyone with needs we can’t meet
- Collect diets and allergies with crew details
- Send allergies to us in writing
After service, we pack up and get out of the way.
A quick pre-order speeds things up.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. Ask us for a quote and compare.
What happens on the day
It’s a relaxed, well-organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, park on the agreed spot, and get on with frying and serving. Sunset in Horsenden is about 8:55pm in late May, 9:25pm at midsummer and 7:05pm in late September; for early or late service, base needs lighting.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check the route in and send a price.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.
Preparing for the day
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
