Planning the van’s spot
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the spot and the way in when you contact us. In general, we need:
- Level, firm ground at base
- A route in the van can manage, with no low branches or tight lanes
- A queue area clear of trucks
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Film set catering in Leckford, cooked to order
Seaside and period locations suit a fish and chip van perfectly. Whether it is seaside shoots and music video shoots, we can cook sausage and chips, mushy peas and pie and chips for your guests.
Near Leckford, crews may be miles from anywhere to eat, so lunch at base matters. We bring the van and everything we need to cook, and we leave the pitch tidy when we go.
What happens on the day
We take care of the food from arrival to the last chip, so you can get on with your shoot in Leckford. Long summer days in Leckford, with light until about 9:25pm, suit evening wraps outdoors, while by late September it is nearer 7:10pm.

Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the shoot.
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 normally simpler.
A chip van compared with other options
Compared with sandwiches on set, a chip van gives the crew a proper hot meal. 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.
What you get with us
- A menu almost everyone likes
- Everything cooked to order at your event
- The classic sides: peas, curry sauce and gravy
- Something for crew to gather round

Your questions about a fish and chip van for the crew in Leckford
How far is Leckford from London?
About 64 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Is Leckford too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Do you need power or water?
Tell us what’s available at the site when you enquire, and we will say what we need.
What about crew who do not eat fish?
Yes: sausages and pies, with chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.
Can you park at the unit base?
Yes, on level ground at base; we’ll check the route.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we’ll plan service around it.
Can the van park on grass?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and send a picture if you can.
How much space do you need?
Less than you might think: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, that the van can reach easily. Send us a photo if you are not sure.
