A chip van near Little Barrington
About our film set catering in Little Barrington
On a long job, a chip van day is a morale boost, alongside regular catering. Typical bookings include event crews and photo shoots, with haddock and chips, pie and chips and mushy peas.
Rural locations near Little Barrington can be a long way from food, so a van at base is a big help. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.

Prices and what affects them
Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- Parking and the way in
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- Service time
- Numbers
Most vans have a minimum charge, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. Ask us what applies to your shoot.

About the food
Pie and chips
For a heartier option, there’s pie and chips.
Gravy
A pot of gravy turns chips into comfort food.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your crew instead.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.

- Put allergy details in writing

- Arrange something for anyone with needs we cannot meet
After service, we pack up and get out of the way.
Cover near the hatch helps on wet days.

Common questions in Little Barrington
Is Little Barrington too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
What if we only have street parking?
Only where it is legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Ask your council early.
Is there a non-fish option?
There is: sausages and pies, with chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
Do we need to provide equipment?
All the cooking happens in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes, always. We fry to order in the van at your venue, then handed over hot from the hatch.
Can you park at the unit base?
Yes, on level ground at base.
Can you feed supporting artists too?
Yes. Just tell us who counts.
What does the van need?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, close to where people will eat, and space for a queue. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
