About our film set catering in Ludgershall
Seaside and period locations suit a fish and chip van perfectly. We serve mushy peas, haddock and chips and cod and chips, and typical bookings are for seaside shoots and location filming.
For a shoot in a place like Ludgershall, tracks and soft ground need checking. We serve from the hatch, so it’s hot and generous, and service is quick once we are up and running.

Organising for someone else?
Venues frequently have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will work through them with you.
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Ordering takeaway to a location is unreliable. A van cooks at the unit base. Comparing vans? Look at what each quote includes: hours, menu, travel, minimum charge and VAT. Our quotes spell it all out.
Why us?
- No kitchen, no crockery, no washing up
- No surprises in your quote
- Hot food handed straight over
- Classic food your crew already know

- Permission for the van at base

A closer look at the menu

Haddock and chips
Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. It’s the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.
Questions from Ludgershall
Is Ludgershall too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Is Ludgershall close to London?
Roughly 47 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
What’s on the menu?
Fish and chips, of course, plus sausage or pie and chips. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
How long will the queue be?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Give us your numbers and service window, and we will plan to keep the queue moving.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Not as standard: batter is typically made with wheat flour. Let us know and we’ll tell you what we can do.
What if the weather’s bad?
We carry on in the rain, because the cooking happens inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
Can you serve children?
Of course. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Tell us how many are coming.
Do we need to provide equipment?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.
