About our film set catering in Little Marlow
Locations and the production office can deal with us directly. On the menu are cod and chips, mushy peas and pie and chips, and typical bookings are for commercials and music videos and seaside and period locations.
Rural locations near Little Marlow can be a long way from food, so a van at base is a big help. The menu is short on purpose: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.

What affects the price in Little Marlow
Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- The number of meals
- Distance and any road charges
- Whether a minimum applies
Cost depends on numbers, menu and service time, plus travel and access. Every booking gets its own quote.
What to tell us
When you contact us, it helps to tell us:
- Allergies and diets you know about
- The spot you have in mind for the van
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- The address or venue name
We quote for each event separately, based on your numbers, timings and travel. For a quote, use our quote form.
About the food
Gravy
In the north and the Midlands, gravy is the side of choice, and it’s lovely with a pie.
Curry sauce
Curry sauce divides opinion, so we bring it along.
Before you choose a spot
The right spot keeps everyone safe and the service smooth. We look for:
- A lit spot for dark mornings or evenings
- Away from the shooting area’s sound
- A clear route to base
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
From the hatch
- Cod and chips
- Mushy peas
- Pie and chips
- Crew lunches
- Haddock and chips
- Sausage and chips
What happens on the day
You do not need to do much on the day: show us the spot, tell us when to start, and enjoy your shoot. The frying and serving are down to us. Daylight is short on winter shoots near Little Marlow: sunset is about 3:55pm, so lunch at base is frequently in daylight but a wrap meal is not.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check the route in and send a price.
- We arrive in good time to set up.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we are done.
How to prepare
- Make sure the van can get in
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Let us know the serving time
How to get a price
Each quote is put together for your shoot. Start with your date, and we will check availability straight away.

Little Marlow for film and TV crews
Little Marlow is about 2 miles north-east of Marlow, in Buckinghamshire. For shoots in Little Marlow, we plan around your venue and timings: a quote, a parking spot and fresh frying on the day. We cover all 263 towns and villages in Buckinghamshire, from the larger towns to small villages. Our nearest city page is Reading, about 14 miles away.
Within reach of Little Marlow are historic houses such as Cliveden (2.9 miles south-east) and Harleyford Manor (3.6 miles south-west). Period locations like these typically keep vehicles well away from the house, so agree the base early. For cast and crew travelling by train, Bourne End station is about 1.4 miles away.
Wherever your shoot is in SL7, we can bring the van to you, from busy streets to quiet lanes. Whether your shoot is on Church Road, Pound Lane and School Lane or anywhere nearby, we’ll bring the van to you.

Is a fish and chip van right for your shoot?
Ordering takeaway to a location is unreliable. The van cooks on site. Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. Your quote spells it all out.

- Nothing for you to cook or clear

Working with your venue
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can hold the date.
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
Should I sort the food myself?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. 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.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
