Film set catering in Long Wittenham, fried fresh
Seaside and period locations suit a fish and chip van perfectly. Typical bookings include wrap celebrations and ad shoots, with haddock and chips, cod and chips and pie and chips.
Near Long Wittenham, crews may be miles from anywhere to eat, so a van at base is a big help. We serve from the hatch, so it’s hot and generous, and the queue keeps moving.

Long Wittenham questions
Do you come out to small places like Long Wittenham?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
What’s the nearest station to Long Wittenham?
The closest is Appleford station, roughly 1.3 miles away.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
It depends on the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and send a photo if you can.
Do you take everything away?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
Where can the van park?
Not much: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, that the van can reach easily. Send us a picture if you’re not sure.
How much does a fish and chip van for the crew cost in Long Wittenham?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and travel. Tell us about your shoot and we will send a quote.
Can you feed supporting artists too?
Of course. Just tell us who counts.
What’s on the menu?
Fish and chips, of course, with sausages and pies for anyone who does not want fish. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.

Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Planning the van’s spot
Plenty of places work for the van, but there are a few things to check:
- A hardstanding spot at the unit base
- Light near the van if needed
- Clear of the shot and sound
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
What we serve
- Mushy peas
- Sausage and chips
- Pie and chips
- Cod and chips
- Crew lunches
- Haddock and chips
How it works
Setting up takes a little while, because the oil has to come up to temperature, so we’re there in good time before you want to eat. In December, daylight in Long Wittenham ends around 3:55pm, so a late lunch or wrap at base needs lighting. Summer shoots have daylight until about 9:25pm.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.
Before we arrive
