About our film set catering in Jealott's Hill
Shoot days are long, and a hot lunch on time matters. A fish and chip van parks at the unit base and fries to order. Popular choices include haddock and chips, cod and chips and pie and chips, and we are frequently booked for live events and broadcasts and unit base lunches.
Rural locations near Jealott's Hill can be a long way from food, so lunch at base matters. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet, and handed over as soon as it is ready.

Questions from Jealott's Hill
Do you come out to small places like Jealott's Hill?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
How far is Jealott's Hill from London?
About 28 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
What will the production need?
Productions vary, so send us the list and we will go through it.
How fast is service?
Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. We’ll talk it through when we quote.
Do you cover Jealott's Hill?
Yes, we do. We serve events in Jealott's Hill and across Bracknell Forest. Send us your date to check availability.
Can you feed visitors on set?
Yes. Let us know total numbers.
Where does the van go on location?
Typically, if there is level, firm ground. We will agree the spot with your location manager.
Is the fish gluten-free?
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.
Space, access and the venue
Plenty of places work for the van, but a few things matter:
- A lit spot for dark mornings or evenings
- A hardstanding spot at the unit base
- A queue area clear of trucks
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.
What we serve
- Pie and chips
- Cod and chips
- Crew lunches
- Haddock and chips
- Sausage and chips
- Mushy peas
What comes out of the fryer
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it is what most people in the south ask for. We batter it and fry it to order, so it’s crisp when it reaches you.
Curry sauce
Some people will not eat chips without curry sauce and it is on the menu.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is typically the easier option.
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 a fish and chip van costs
Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:
- How far we travel
- How long we serve
- The menu and how many choices
- The date and time of year
A chip van often compares well with a plated meal, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. We’ll send you a quote.

- Where the van would park
- The venue or postcode
