Fresh fish and chips in Hungerford
Film set catering in Hungerford, cooked to order
A van can get a crew fed quickly within the lunch break, with no kitchen needed on site. We serve sausage and chips, mushy peas and pie and chips, and typical bookings are for period dramas on location and end-of-shoot parties.

The right spot keeps everyone safe and the service smooth. We look for:
- Lighting for early or late service
- A queue area clear of trucks
- A level, firm spot at the unit base
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.

A fish and chip van or other catering?
Ordering takeaway to a location is unreliable. The van cooks on site. Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is often good value, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. We’ll send you a quote.
Why book with us
- We cook inside the van, whatever the weather
- No kitchen, no crockery, no washing up
- Everything cooked to order at your event
- Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy on the side

The process
From set-up to the last portion, we look after the food, so you can enjoy your shoot. At midsummer, Hungerford has light until about 9:25pm, while by late September it is nearer 7:10pm.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check the route in and send a price.
- We arrive in good time to set up.
- Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.
Before we arrive
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Have a level parking spot ready
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
Getting a price
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: where the van would park, how to get in, numbers and timings. A photo of the spot helps too. When you are ready, send us your details through our quote form.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
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.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the shoot.
