Film set catering in Little Ann, cooked to order
A chip van is a popular crew treat on a long shoot. Popular choices include haddock and chips, sausage and chips and cod and chips, and we’re regularly asked to cater wrap parties and shoots on location.
Near Little Ann, 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 it is hot and generous, and service is quick once we’re up and running.
Questions from Little Ann
How far is Little Ann from London?
About 65 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
What’s the nearest station to Little Ann?
Andover station, about 2 miles north-east of the centre.
Do numbers include extras?
Of course. Just tell us who counts.
Is grass a problem?
It depends on the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and send a photo if you can.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. We will talk it through when we quote.
Can you cater for allergies?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Send us any allergies in writing.
Can you park at the unit base?
Usually, if there’s level, firm ground. Locations will decide where.
What does it cost to hire the van?
It depends on numbers, the menu, how long we serve and travel. Tell us about your shoot and we’ll send a quote.
What comes out of the fryer
Gravy
A pot of gravy turns chips into comfort food, especially in winter.
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips is the go-to for anyone who is not a fish fan.
Allergies and dietary needs
A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Here’s how:
- Add an allergy question to crew forms
- Have a back-up for special diets
- Confirm numbers the day before
- Agree how the base is left
We take our used oil and waste with us.
Tables or a marquee at base make lunch comfortable.
Space, access and the venue
The right spot keeps everyone safe and the service smooth. We need:
- Lighting for early or late service
- Space in front of the hatch
- Away from the shooting area’s sound

DIY versus a fish and chip van
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is generally the easier option.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
How we price a fish and chip van for the crew
Fish and chip van pricing is simple once we know the basics:
- Distance and any road charges
- The date and time of year
- How easy the site is to reach
- Any minimum charge
Got a budget? Let us know, and we’ll suggest a menu and timing to match. Keeping the menu short is generally the best value.

We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- The venue or postcode
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- Where you’d like the van to go
