Prices and what affects them
There are no hidden charges: the quote reflects:
- How far we travel
- How many people are eating
- Cod, haddock or both
- Whether a minimum applies
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.
What we need to know
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what’s useful:
- Anything awkward about the way in
- Dietary needs, with numbers
- The spot you have in mind for the van
- A picture of where the van would go
We only need a few details to quote: the date, where the van would park, roughly how many people and when you’d like to eat. To send them, fill in our quote form.
Film set catering in Latimer, cooked to order
A van can get a crew fed quickly within the lunch break, with no kitchen needed on site. We’re frequently asked to cater seaside and period locations and photo shoots, serving mushy peas, pie and chips and sausage and chips.
Near Latimer, check tracks and ground for the van. Food is served straight from the hatch, so it’s hot and generous, and service is quick once we are up and running.

What happens on the day
We don’t cook ahead. Fish is battered and fried when people come up to the hatch, so it is as fresh as from any chip shop. Winter shoots near Latimer chase the light, which goes at about 3:55pm in December, so lunch at base is often in daylight but a wrap meal isn’t.
- First, tell us about your shoot.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for the crew.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.
Before we arrive
- Plan where the queue will stand
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day

Common questions in Latimer
Which station is closest to Latimer?
Chalfont & Latimer station, about 1 mile south of the centre.
Can the van go to venues in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Can you feed visitors on set?
Yes. Let us know total numbers.
Do you have allergen information?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Send us any allergies in writing.
Do you bring everything you need?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.
Can the van park on the street?
It depends on the road. A drive, car park or yard is typically easier; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
What paperwork do you provide?
Productions vary, so ask your production office for the list.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Tell us about any coeliac crew and we will explain the options.

Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
