Film set catering in Martyr's Green, cooked to order
The van needs level, firm ground at the unit base, and a clear route in. On the menu are sausage and chips, haddock and chips and pie and chips, and we’re frequently booked for music video shoots and crew lunches at base.
Near Martyr's Green, 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.
Where the van can park in Martyr's Green
Plenty of places work for the van, but a few things matter:
- Space in front of the hatch
- Clear of the shot and sound
- A lit spot for dark mornings or evenings

What else we do in Martyr's Green
How it works
The van needs a level, firm spot it can drive onto, close to where people will eat, and we agree exactly where before the day. In December, daylight in Martyr's Green ends around 3:55pm, so the unit base needs lighting for late service. Summer shoots have daylight until about 9:20pm.
- Tell us what you are planning and when you’d like to eat.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Preparing for the day
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue

Common questions in Martyr's Green
How far is Martyr's Green from London?
Roughly 20 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Could you trade in The Forest and the Highlands?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Ask them first.
Can you park on the road outside?
It depends on the road. Off-road parking is usually simpler; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
What if the weather’s bad?
Rain doesn’t stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. Crew will appreciate cover near the hatch.
Is the fish gluten-free?
No, not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Let us know and we’ll tell you what we can do.
Can you work to the call sheet?
Schedules move, and we plan for it. Keep us updated and we will adapt.
What food do you serve?
Proper fish and chips, plus sausage or pie and chips. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
How much space do you need?
Less than you might think: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, with a clear way in. Send us a picture if you are not sure.
Events we cater in Martyr's Green
Productions book a chip van because crews love it, especially on long shoots.
The van suits big events and small ones. Common bookings include:
- Lunch at the unit base
- Fashion shoots on location
- Wrap celebrations
- Ad shoots
Nearby historic houses include Byfleet Manor (2.2 miles north-west) and Hatchlands Park (3.5 miles south-west). Period locations like these generally keep vehicles well away from the house, so agree the base early.
Before booking anyone
- How much space the van takes up
- VAT, if it applies
- How late numbers can change
- Any travel, parking or access charges
Should I sort the food myself?
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.
A chip van compared with other options
Ordering takeaway to a location is unreliable. A van cooks at the unit base. Distance and any road charges make a difference, so it helps to give us the postcode.
