A chip van near Mugswell
Location catering around Mugswell
Mugswell is about 3 miles north of Reigate, in Greater London. Across the CR5 area, we can bring the van to you. Mugswell is one of 764 places in Greater London we cover. Our nearest city page is London, about 16 miles away.
Mugswell is within about 6 miles of the Surrey Hills National Landscape, and locations in protected landscapes often have rules about vehicles.
For shoots in CR5, we just need to know where the van can park and roughly how many crew. Nearby, we also serve shoots in Gatton (1 mile south-east), Hooley (2 miles north-east), Merstham (2 miles east), South Merstham (2 miles south-east) and Netherne on-the-Hill (3 miles north-east). Further out, we also take the van to Kensington (15 miles north), Brompton (15 miles north), Stockwell (14 miles north), Orpington (15 miles north-east), Wimbledon (10 miles north) and Kennington (14 miles north).
A little further out are Surrey Fire Museum (2.4 miles south) and The Belfry (2.9 miles south-east). The countryside around Mugswell includes Reigate Heath and Colley Hill.
- Nearby schools include St Bede's School (2.1 miles south-east)
- Local pubs include Well House Inn (under half a mile north)
How our film set catering works in Mugswell
Everything is cooked as crew come up, so lunch is hot and fresh. Whether it’s shoots on location and crew treats on long shoot days, we can cook pie and chips, sausage and chips and haddock and chips and more.
In Mugswell, unit bases are often in car parks or yards. The location manager will arrange the van’s spot, often with council permission. Food is served straight from the hatch, so it is hot and generous, and service is quick once we are up and running.

Space, access and the venue
If a spot is not suitable, we’ll tell you. What matters most:
- Clear of the shot and sound
- The location’s agreement
- Access checked by locations
As a London location, Mugswell is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.

How it works
Because we cook inside the van, rain doesn’t stop us. It is worth thinking about cover for the queue, though. At midsummer, Mugswell has light until about 9:20pm, while by late September it’s nearer 7:05pm.
- Contact us with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for the crew.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Before we arrive
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
Getting a price
It’s easy to get a price: share your date, address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat. We’ll send a clear quote that says what’s included.

We arrive at base in good time and set up, out of the way.
Bins at base keep the location clean.

Takeaway run or book a van?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is usually the easier option.
What affects the price in Mugswell
Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:
- The menu and how many choices
- Numbers
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- Service time
Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so it helps to give us the postcode.

Food your guests will love
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it is what most people in the south ask for. It’s battered and fried to order.
Haddock and chips
Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.
Is a fish and chip van right for your shoot?
Compared with sandwiches on set, hot fish and chips is a real lunch. Cost depends on numbers, menu and service time, along with distance and access to the site. We quote for each booking individually.
