About our film set catering in Mursley
We work with your location manager or production office on access, parking and timings. Popular choices include pie and chips, haddock and chips and cod and chips, and we’re regularly asked to cater live events and broadcasts and music video shoots.
For a shoot in a place like Mursley, tracks and soft ground need checking with locations. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your shoot, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.

For event organisers in Mursley
Parks, greens and streets usually need permission for a catering van. Ask the council or landowner early.
If you’re booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we will talk you through the process. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
Allergies and dietary needs
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Here’s how:
- Put allergy details in writing
- Share the base location and route
- Collect diets and allergies with crew details
- Give us a contact for call-time changes
Lunch is planned around the call sheet, with a contact for changes.
Bins at base keep the location clean.
Planning the van’s spot
We’ll be honest if a spot won’t work, and suggest an alternative. What matters most:
- Permission for the van at base
- A level, firm spot at the unit base
- Clear of the shot and sound
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Mursley: your questions answered
Is Mursley too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Is Mursley close to London?
Roughly 44 miles from the centre of London.
Do you bring everything you need?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.
Is the food cooked at the event?
It is. We cook inside the van, so it’s fried on the spot, rather than made in advance.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Let us know numbers, and we’ll plan for them.
Is there a non-fish option?
Yes: sausages and pies, with chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.
How do you handle allergies?
Let us know about allergies in advance, and we will tell you what’s in each item and what we can offer.
Do numbers include extras?
Yes, include them in numbers. Confirm numbers the day before.
How the day works
From set-up to the last portion, we look after the food, so you can enjoy your shoot. Sunset in Mursley is about 8:55pm in late May, 9:25pm at midsummer and 7:05pm in late September; for dawn calls or late wraps, plan lighting at base.
- Tell us what you’re planning and when you’d like to eat.
- We come back with availability and a clear 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
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Confirm the van is allowed on site

About the food
Gravy
Chips and gravy is a favourite in the north and the Midlands, and it goes perfectly with a pie.
Cod and chips
For many people, cod and chips is the definitive version. Cooked fresh at the hatch, it is hot, crisp and generous.

What affects the price in Mursley
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Whether a minimum applies
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- Parking and the way in
- Travel, tolls and road charges
Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is often good value, as there’s no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. We will send you a quote.
What we need to know
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what to include:
- The venue or postcode
- Your date and serving time
- The spot you have in mind for the van
- Any dietary needs and allergies
Still finalising the details? No problem: tell us the basics about your shoot, and we will quote on that. Start when you are ready: send us your details through our quote form.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
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.
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.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
