How our film set catering works in Jericho
On a long job, a chip van day is a morale boost. We’re often asked to cater wrap celebrations and seaside shoots, serving sausage and chips, haddock and chips and pie and chips.
Near Jericho, base may be a field or yard, so ground conditions matter. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your shoot, so the batter is still crisp when it’s handed over.

Diets, allergies and planning
We take allergies seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Collect diets and allergies with crew details
- Send the unit base address and directions
- Tell us about coeliac crew specifically
- Agree how the base is left
We arrive at base in good time and set up, out of the way.
A quick pre-order speeds things up.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is typically simpler.

What happens on the day
Setting up takes a little while, because the oil has to come up to temperature, so we always arrive well ahead of your serving time. On a winter shoot near Jericho, the light goes by about 3:55pm, so a late lunch or wrap at base needs lighting. In summer, light lasts until about 9:25pm.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
Preparing for the day
- Get permission for the van from the venue
- Ensure the van can get in
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
How to get a price

Jericho questions
Can the van park in Oxford University Parks?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council. Ask them first.
What’s the nearest station to Jericho?
Oxford station, about 0.5 miles south of the centre.
Can you feed supporting artists too?
Yes, include them in numbers. Tell us the day before.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We clear the van’s area after service. Let us know about bins for crew.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Children are very welcome. Tell us how many children, and we’ll plan for them.
Do you need power or water?
Tell us what’s available at the site when you enquire, and we will say what we need.
Can the van park on the street?
That depends on local parking rules. Off-road parking is usually simpler; for the street, check the council’s rules.
What’s on the menu?
Fish and chips, of course, plus sausage or pie and chips. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
How we price a fish and chip van for the crew
These are the factors that matter most:
- How easy the site is to reach
- How long we serve
- Numbers
- Whether a minimum applies
Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. Ask us what applies to your shoot.
