About our film set catering in Leckhampstead
A chip van fits right in at seaside locations. We are frequently asked to cater location shoots and live events and broadcasts, with pie and chips, haddock and chips and cod and chips.
Near Leckhampstead, crews may be miles from anywhere to eat, so a van at base is a big help. We keep the menu short: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.

How it works
We need time before service to bring the fryers up to heat, so we always arrive well ahead of your serving time. Winter shoots near Leckhampstead chase the light, which goes at about 3:55pm in December, so lunch at base is frequently in daylight but a wrap meal is not.
- We start with a few details about your shoot.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a 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.
Preparing for the day
- Let us know the serving time
- Give us a contact for the day
- Ensure the van can get in

Leckhampstead: your questions answered
Is Leckhampstead close to London?
About 52 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Do you come out to small places like Leckhampstead?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
What does the van need?
Not much: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, with a clear way in. Send us a photo if you are not sure.
What if the weather’s bad?
The weather doesn’t stop the van, because the cooking happens inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
Do numbers include extras?
Yes, include them in numbers. Tell us the day before.
What paperwork do you provide?
Every production asks for different things, so send us the list.
Who clears up?
The pitch is left as we found it. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
What about crew who do not eat fish?
There is: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.
Working with your venue
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Staggering groups helps a lot.
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we will talk you through the process. We are happy to liaise with facilities on parking and timings.
Crew catering near Leckhampstead
Leckhampstead is about 3 miles north-east of Buckingham, in Buckinghamshire. From the centre of Leckhampstead to the outskirts, we offer the same service: fresh frying, hot food from the hatch and a clear price. Leckhampstead is one of 263 places in Buckinghamshire we cover. We serve events right across the region, from Leckhampstead to Milton Keynes (7 miles away).
Nearby historic houses include Stowe House (3.4 miles west). Period locations like these typically keep vehicles well away from the house, so agree the base early.
For shoots in MK18, we just need to know where the van can park and roughly how many crew. If your venue is just outside Leckhampstead, we also cover Akeley (1 mile west), Lillingstone Lovell (2 miles north-west), Maids Moreton (2 miles south-west) and Lamport (3 miles west). Larger places within reach include Buckingham (3 miles south-west), Elmhurst (15 miles south), Haydon Hill (15 miles south), Quarrendon Estate (15 miles south), Winslow (7 miles south) and Watermead (15 miles south).

What a fish and chip van costs
There are no hidden charges: the price is based on:
- Your choice of menu
- The length of service
- The date and time of year
- Whether a minimum applies
Got a budget? Let us know, and we’ll suggest a menu and timing to match. A short menu is frequently the best value.
Getting an accurate quote
Good planning starts with a few facts. Try to include:
- The venue or postcode
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- Your date and serving time
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: where the van would park, how to get in, numbers and timings. A photo of the spot helps too. To send your details, use our quote form.
Should I sort the food myself?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is normally the easier option.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
