About our film set catering in Leverton
A chip van is a popular crew treat on a long shoot, alongside regular catering. We serve cod and chips, haddock and chips and pie and chips, and we’re often booked for unit base lunches and crew morale days.
For a shoot in a place like Leverton, tracks and soft ground need checking. We serve from the hatch, so it is hot and generous, and service is quick once we’re up and running.

Crew catering near Leverton
Leverton is about 9 miles west of Newbury, in West Berkshire. For shoots in Leverton, the van can park on drives, in car parks and yards, and on firm lawns and fields. Leverton is one of 155 towns and villages in West Berkshire where we bring the van. We serve events right across the region, from Leverton to Reading (24 miles away).
Crew coming by rail can use the station: Hungerford station, about 1.1 miles south-east, is the nearest station. Within reach of Leverton are historic houses such as Ramsbury Manor (4.6 miles west). Period locations like these normally keep vehicles well away from the house, so agree the base early. The North Wessex Downs National Landscape is within about 6 miles of Leverton, and locations in protected landscapes frequently have rules about vehicles.
Anywhere in RG17, we can bring the van to you, from busy streets to quiet lanes. Other places close to Leverton we cover include Chilton Foliat (1 mile north-west), Upper Eddington (1 mile south-east), Eddington (1 mile south-east), Hungerford (1 mile south) and Woodlands St Mary (3 miles north). Further out, we also take the van to Newbury (9 miles east), Thatcham (12 miles east), Speenhamland (9 miles east), Lambourn (5 miles north), Shaw (9 miles east) and Kingsclere (14 miles south-east).

How it works
Because we cook inside the van, rain doesn’t stop us. Crew will still appreciate a bit of cover near the hatch. In December, daylight in Leverton ends around 4:00pm, so a late lunch or wrap at base needs lighting. Summer shoots have daylight until about 9:25pm.
- Tell us what you are planning and when you’d like to eat.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks, and how it gets in.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Preparing for the day
- Get permission for the van from the venue
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. We are happy to send a quote so you can compare.
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.
Your questions about a fish and chip van for the crew in Leverton
Is Leverton close to London?
Roughly 62 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Do you come out to small places like Leverton?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Of course. Children generally love sausage and chips. Include children in your numbers.

What can crew choose from?
Fish and chips, of course, plus sausage or pie and chips. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.

We do. We serve events in Leverton and across West Berkshire. Send us your date to check availability.

About the food
Curry sauce
Chip-shop curry sauce is a mild, slightly sweet British classic, great with chips and sausages.
Haddock and chips
Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. It is the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.
Planning for dietary needs
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. Our advice:
- Give us a contact for call-time changes
- Share the base location and route
- Tell us about coeliac crew specifically
- Agree the waste plan with locations
Fewer choices mean faster service in a lunch break.
Pre-orders from the crew help on tight breaks.
