Film set catering for Lee Common events
Prices and what affects them
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- How many people are eating
- Parking and the way in
- Distance and any road charges
- The day of the week
Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. Ask us what applies to your shoot.
Details that help
When you get in touch, it helps to tell us:
- The date and time of the event
- A picture of the space and the way in
- Allergies and diets you know about
- Expected numbers
We only need a few details to quote: date, address, numbers and serving time. To send them, fill in our quote form.
About our film set catering in Lee Common
Fried-to-order service suits a lunch break, without needing a kitchen on location. We’re often asked to cater live events and broadcasts and wrap parties, with sausage and chips, pie and chips and haddock and chips.
For a shoot in a place like Lee Common, tracks and soft ground need checking. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your shoot, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.

What happens on the day
Nothing gathers a crowd like the smell of fish and chips. Each piece of fish is battered and fried to order, with chips cooked in batches as the queue moves. On a winter shoot near Lee Common, the light goes by about 3:55pm, so the unit base needs lighting for late service. In summer, light lasts until about 9:25pm.
- First, tell us 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.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.
How to prepare

Lee Common questions
What’s the nearest station to Lee Common?
Great Missenden station, about 2 miles south-west 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.
Do you take everything away?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.
Where can the van park?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, near your crew, with room for a queue at the hatch. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
Can the van come to base?
Generally, with a level spot. We’ll agree the spot with your location manager.
What happens if it rains?
The weather does not stop the van, because the fryers are inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
Is there a non-fish option?
There is: sausages and pies, with chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
What do you bring?
All the cooking happens in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site and we will confirm what we need.
Is a fish and chip van right for your shoot?
Ordering takeaway to a location is unreliable. A van cooks at the unit base. Distance and any road charges make a difference, so it helps to give us the postcode.
Why us?
- Served hot, straight from the hatch
- Nothing for you to cook or clear
- Cod, haddock, sausages and pies
- We cook inside the van, whatever the weather
See our prices page and the cost guide.
Planning for dietary needs
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Here’s how:
- Confirm allergies by email
- Name a contact in the production office
- Share the base location and route
- Add an allergy question to crew forms
We arrive at base in good time and set up, out of the way.
A quick pre-order speeds things up.
Planners, venues and businesses
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we will explain how it works. We are happy to liaise with facilities on parking and timings.
Parks, greens and streets normally need permission for a catering van. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
Space, access and the venue
The van has to be able to get in and park safely, so a few things need checking. These are the things we check:
- A clear route to base
- A hardstanding spot at the unit base
- Space in front of the hatch
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
