Film set catering in Letcombe Regis, fried fresh
A chip van fits right in at seaside locations. We’re often asked to cater commercials and music videos and wrap parties, with haddock and chips, cod and chips and pie and chips.
Near Letcombe Regis, crews may be miles from anywhere to eat, so a van at base is a big help. Food is served straight from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and the queue keeps moving.

When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: hours, menu, travel, minimum charge and VAT. We set ours out clearly.

A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what to include:
- Where the event is
- Your date and serving time
- Roughly how many people, including children

Questions from Letcombe Regis
How far is Letcombe Regis from London?
About 59 miles from central London.
Can the van park in Betjeman Millennium Park?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
What does the van need?
Less than you might think: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, with a clear way in. Send us a picture if you are not sure.
What if the weather’s bad?
Rain doesn’t stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. Crew will appreciate cover near the hatch.
Can you adjust to schedule changes?
We expect changes. A contact on the day is all we need.
Can the van come to our wrap?
Yes, and crews love it. Send us the date and place.
Can you feed visitors on set?
Yes, if they’re in your numbers. Tell us the day before.
Do you need power or water?
Tell us what’s available at the site in your enquiry, and we’ll say what we need.

The menu, dish by dish
Curry sauce
Chip-shop curry sauce is a mild, slightly sweet British classic, great with chips and sausages.
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips covers anyone who does not want fish, and it is a favourite with children.
Where the van can park in Letcombe Regis
The van has to be able to get in and park safely, so a few things need checking. These are the things we check:
- Agreement from the location manager and landowner
- A level, firm spot at the unit base
- Room for the crew to queue
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.
What we serve
- Mushy peas
- Cod and chips
- Sausage and chips
- Pie and chips
- Haddock and chips
- Crew lunches
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
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 cooks in front of your crew instead.
Why choose film set catering in Letcombe Regis?
Service is quick from the hatch.
Here are some of the occasions we serve:
- Treat days on a long shoot
- Period dramas on location

How the day works

- Tell us what you are planning and when you’d like to eat.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
