Curry sauce
Curry sauce divides opinion, so we bring it along.
How our film set catering works in Longworth
Fried-to-order service suits a lunch break, with no kitchen needed on site. We serve pie and chips, cod and chips and haddock and chips, and typical bookings are for event crews and commercials and music videos.
Near Longworth, crews may be miles from anywhere to eat, so lunch at base matters. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your shoot, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.

Diets, allergies and planning
Nearly every event has some special diets. To look after them:
- Add an allergy question to crew forms
- Give us a contact for call-time changes
- Share the base location and route
- Plan bins and waste at base
Fewer choices mean faster service.
Cover near the hatch helps on wet days.
Should I sort the food myself?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.

Questions from Longworth
Is Longworth too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Is Longworth close to London?
About 59 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Do you bring everything you need?
Everything is cooked in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site.
Can the van come to Longworth?
We do. Longworth is one of the places we cover. Send us your date to check availability.
What food do you serve?
Fish and chips, of course, with sausages and pies for anyone who doesn’t want fish. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
Can you park on the road outside?
Only where it is legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Check with your council first.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes. We cook inside the van, so food is cooked there and then, rather than made in advance.
Is grass a problem?
Frequently, if the ground is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
Prices and what affects them
These are the factors that matter most:
- Numbers
- The day of the week
- The length of service
- Distance and any road charges
Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is often good value, as there is no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. We will send you a quote.
What to tell us
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- A picture of the parking spot
- Allergies and diets you know about
- Your date and serving time
- The venue or postcode
Most quotes start with a few simple details: the date, where the van would park, roughly how many people and when you’d like to eat. You can send us your details through our quote form.
How the day works
When we arrive, we position the van, set up the hatch and get the fryers up to temperature. Once we are hot, we cook to order, timed around your shoot. Daylight is short on winter shoots near Longworth: sunset is about 4:00pm, so lunch at base is often in daylight but a wrap meal isn’t.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance, and how it gets in.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
Getting ready for the day
- Name one person we can call on the day
- Plan where the queue will stand
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
Getting a price
Getting a quote is simple: share your date, address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat. We’ll come back with a clear quote.

- Cod and chips

Planners, venues and businesses
