Film set catering for Mislingford events
About our film set catering in Mislingford
On a long shoot day, a good hot lunch keeps morale up. A fish and chip van parks at the unit base and fries to order. Typical bookings include treat days on a long shoot and location filming, serving mushy peas, cod and chips and pie and chips.
Rural locations near Mislingford can be a long way from food, so a van at base is a big help. Everything is fried fresh at your shoot, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet, and served the moment it comes out of the fryer.
Planners, venues and businesses
Venues often 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.
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan service to match. Sending people up in groups helps.

Prices and what affects them
These are the factors that matter most:
- The length of service
- The date and time of year
- Access and parking
- Whether a minimum applies
Got a budget? Let us know, and we’ll suggest a menu and timing to match. Keeping the menu short is generally the best value.
What we need to know
Good planning starts with a few facts. Please include:
- A picture of where the van would go
- Where you’d like the van to go

- Expected numbers

Should I sort the food myself?
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We’re happy to send a quote so you can compare.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the shoot.
Questions from Mislingford
What’s the nearest station to Mislingford?
The closest is Botley station, roughly 4 miles away.
Do you come out to small places like Mislingford?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
What about crew who don’t eat fish?
We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we’ll be honest about what’s possible.
Is the food cooked at the event?
It is. The fryers are in the van, so food is cooked there and then, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
Can the van park on the street?
It depends on the road. A drive, car park or yard is usually easier; for the street, check the council’s rules.
Can you cater for allergies?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Tell us about allergies in advance.
How fast is service?
Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. We will talk it through when we quote.
Where does the van go on location?
Yes, on level ground at base.
Looking after everyone
A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Here’s how:
- Send allergies to us in writing
- Plan an alternative for anyone we cannot cater for
- Ask for dietary needs on the crew info form
- Agree how the base is left
We clear up quickly after lunch.
Pre-orders from the crew help on tight breaks.

A chip van compared with other options
Some locations have nowhere to buy food. A van brings lunch to base. Most vans have a minimum charge, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. Ask us what applies to your shoot.
