Film set catering in Langley Vale, fried fresh
We work with your location manager or production office on access, parking and timings. Typical bookings include wrap parties and music video shoots, serving sausage and chips, mushy peas and cod and chips.
Near Langley Vale, check tracks and ground for the van. We serve from the hatch, so it is hot and generous, and the queue keeps moving.
Takeaway run or book a van?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Prices and what affects them
Fish and chip van pricing is simple once we know the basics:
- Cod, haddock or both
- Whether a minimum applies
- Numbers
- Access and parking
The cost per head usually falls as numbers rise, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
What we need to know
Here’s what makes a quick, accurate quote possible:
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- Where the event is
- Anything awkward about the way in
- The date and when you’d like to eat
It’s easy to get a price: share your date, address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat. We’ll come back with a clear quote.
How the day works
Here’s how the day usually runs: the van arrives and we set up, the fryers heat up, and food goes out hot when you’re ready to eat. At midsummer, Langley Vale has light until about 9:20pm.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for the crew.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Preparing for the day
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Have a level parking spot ready
- Clear the route for the van

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Many locations are miles from shops. The van solves that. Cost depends on numbers, menu and service time, plus travel and access. Every booking gets its own quote.
