How our film set catering works in Milton Regis
Seaside and period locations suit a fish and chip van perfectly. On the menu are cod and chips, sausage and chips and haddock and chips, and we’re frequently booked for seaside and period locations and fashion shoots on location.
Rural locations near Milton Regis can be a long way from food, so lunch at base matters. We cook inside the van, right where your crew are, so the batter is still crisp when it is handed over.
A closer look at the menu
Haddock and chips
Some people swear by haddock: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.
Curry sauce
The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, perfect with chips or a sausage.

Before you choose a spot
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the spot and the way in when you contact us. In general, we need:
- Away from the shooting area’s sound
- Level, firm ground at base
- Space in front of the hatch

Takeaway run or book a van?
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your crew instead.
Milton Regis: your questions answered
How far is Milton Regis from London?
Roughly 38 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Is Milton Regis too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Tell us about coeliac crew when you enquire, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer.
What food do you serve?
Chip-shop favourites: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.
How fast is service?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Give us your numbers and service window, and we will plan service around it.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes, always. Everything is fried fresh in the van, and serve straight from the hatch.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
Typically, if it is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
Can you cook in the rain?
Rain does not stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. Crew will appreciate cover near the hatch.
A chip van compared with other options
A full location catering unit suits long shoots with three meals a day. A van is great for short jobs and crew treats. Cost depends on numbers, menu and service time, plus travel and access. We quote for each booking individually.

If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
Step by step
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, so we time it to your schedule. Light in Milton Regis lasts until about 9:15pm at midsummer; for early or late service, base needs lighting.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
