How we price a fish and chip van for the crew
We’ll give you a clear quote. What affects it most:
- The menu and how many choices
- The minimum booking
- How long we serve
- Distance and any road charges
Got a budget? Let us know, and we’ll suggest a menu and timing to match. A short menu is frequently the best value.
What to tell us
You don’t need everything decided to ask for a quote, but it helps to know:
- A picture of the space and the way in
- Where the van would park
- Expected numbers
- The date and when you’d like to eat
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many people, along with your serving time, and you’ll get a clear price. To get started, use our quote form.
How our film set catering works in Little Sandhurst
We cater location shoots, unit bases, commercials, music videos and wrap parties. Typical bookings include location filming and outside broadcasts, serving haddock and chips, pie and chips and sausage and chips.
Around Little Sandhurst, locations can be rural. Let us know about access. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your shoot, so the batter is still crisp when it’s handed over.

Questions from Little Sandhurst
Is Little Sandhurst close to London?
About 32 miles from central London.
What’s the nearest station to Little Sandhurst?
Sandhurst station, about 0.6 miles south-east of the centre.
Do you have documents for productions?
Productions vary, so ask your production office for the list and we’ll go through it.
What can crew choose from?
Fish and chips, of course, with sausages and pies for anyone who does not want fish. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Let us know about coeliac crew in advance, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer.
What if lunch moves?
Schedules move, and we plan for it. Keep us updated and we’ll adapt.
Is there a non-fish option?
Yes: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes. We fry to order in the van at your venue, then handed over hot from the hatch.
For planners, venues and organisers
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. Ask the council or landowner early.
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Tell us what your venue needs and we will work through them with you.
What happens on the day
If the plan changes on the day, a quick word is all it takes: we can start a little later or slow the pace. Light in Little Sandhurst lasts until about 9:25pm at midsummer; for dawn calls or late wraps, plan lighting at base.
- We start with the location, call times and crew numbers.
- We check the route and the unit base and send a price.
- Parking and arrival are agreed with locations.
- We cook to order through the crew’s lunch break.
- We clear up and get out of the way.
Before we arrive
- Have a level parking spot ready
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely

The menu, dish by dish
Gravy
Chips and gravy is a favourite in the north and the Midlands, and it goes perfectly with a pie.
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it is the favourite in much of the south. It’s battered and fried to order.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
Looking after everyone
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Send final numbers the day before
- Agree the waste plan with locations
- Add an allergy question to crew forms
- Confirm allergies by email
Used oil leaves with the van.
Plan bins at the unit base.
