Curry sauce
Curry sauce divides opinion and it’s on the menu.
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. It’s the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.

Longcot: your questions answered
How far is Longcot from London?
About 66 miles from central London.
Do you come out to small places like Longcot?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
How much does a fish and chip van for the crew cost in Longcot?
It depends on numbers, the menu, how long we serve and travel. Tell us about your shoot and we’ll send a quote.
What if the weather’s bad?
The weather doesn’t stop the van, because the cooking happens inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
Can you park on the road outside?
That depends on local parking rules. Off-road parking is usually simpler; for the street, check the council’s rules.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we will plan to keep the queue moving.
Can the van come to our wrap?
Yes. A chip van suits a relaxed wrap party.
How much space do you need?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, close to where people will eat, and space for a queue. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
Allergies and dietary needs
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Try these:
- Ensure we can reach locations on the day
- Send allergies to us in writing
- Give us a map or what3words for base
- Tell us about coeliac crew specifically
We work to the lunch time on the call sheet, and a contact keeps us updated.
Tables or a marquee at base make lunch comfortable.
Why choose film set catering in Longcot?
Productions book a chip van because crews love it.
Whatever brings people together, fish and chips from the hatch goes down well. We’re often booked for:
- Ad shoots
- Shoots on location
- Event crews
- End-of-shoot parties
Nearby historic houses include Buscot Park (4.1 miles north-west). Period locations like these normally keep vehicles well away from the house, so agree the base early.

How it works
You don’t need to do much on the day: point us to the spot and get on with your shoot. The frying and serving are down to us. Winter shoots near Longcot chase the light, which goes at about 4:00pm in December, so lunch at base is frequently in daylight but a wrap meal isn’t.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks, and how it gets in.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Before we arrive
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time

How we price a fish and chip van for the crew
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, because of:
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- Your choice of menu
- Service time
- Whether a minimum applies
Cost depends on numbers, menu and service time, along with distance and access to the site. Every booking gets its own quote.
Details that help
To check availability and price, we need:
- Your date and serving time
- Roughly how many people, including children
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
- Where you’d like the van to go
Send us the date, the address or SN7 postcode and rough numbers, plus when you’d like to eat, and you will get a clear price. Just send us your details through our quote form.
