Fresh fish and chips in Kiddington
How our film set catering works in Kiddington
The van needs level, firm ground at the unit base, and a clear route in. We are often asked to cater seaside shoots and stills shoots, serving pie and chips, sausage and chips and haddock and chips.
Near Kiddington, check tracks and ground for the van. We cook inside the van, right where your crew are, so the batter is still crisp when it is handed over.

How the day works
We need a level, firm place to park the van, close to where people will eat, and we agree exactly where before the day. Long summer days in Kiddington, with light until about 9:30pm, suit evening wraps outdoors, while by late September it is nearer 7:10pm.
- Tell us what you are planning and when you’d like to eat.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance, and how it gets in.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
Before we arrive
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Clear the route for the van

FAQs for Kiddington
What’s the nearest station to Kiddington?
The closest is Charlbury station, roughly 4.4 miles away.
Do you come out to small places like Kiddington?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Do you take everything away?
The pitch is left as we found it. Bins for crew are worth planning.
Can the van come to base?
Usually, if there is level, firm ground. Locations will decide where.
Can you cook in the rain?
The weather doesn’t stop the van, because the fryers are inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Tell us about coeliac crew when you enquire, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer.
Can you serve children?
Of course. Children typically love sausage and chips. Tell us how many are coming.
When do you arrive?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.

Gravy
Gravy brings a bit of warmth to the meal, especially in winter.
Curry sauce
The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, great with chips and sausages.
Before you choose a spot

- Far enough from set to keep noise down
- A lit spot for dark mornings or evenings
- Permission for the van at base
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

Planning a shoot in Kiddington
Kiddington is about 7 miles north-west of Kidlington, in Oxfordshire. Kiddington is well within our area, so your shoot just needs a date, a spot for the van and a serving time. We cover 443 places across Oxfordshire. We serve events right across the region, from Kiddington to Oxford (about 13 miles away).
Within reach of Kiddington are historic houses such as Blenheim Palace (4.6 miles south). Historic houses are popular locations, and most set strict rules for vehicles, so plan the unit base with locations. Kiddington is about 62 miles from central London.
Shoots anywhere in OX20 start with a parking spot for the van and roughly how many crew.

How we price a fish and chip van for the crew
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, because of:
- Any minimum charge
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- Access and parking
- How long we serve
A chip van frequently compares well with a plated meal, as there’s no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. We’ll send you a quote.
Details that help
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what to include:
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- Where the event is
- Where you’d like the van to go
- Your date and serving time
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many people, plus when you’d like to eat, and we will reply with a quote. To get started, send us your details through our quote form.
Should I sort the food myself?
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is generally simpler.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Many locations are miles from shops. A van brings lunch to base. Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so tell us exactly where your shoot is.
