A chip van near New Haw
Looking after everyone
Most events have a few crew with dietary needs. To plan for them:
- Add an allergy question to crew forms
- Tell us about coeliac crew specifically
- Send allergies to us in writing
- Plan bins and waste at base
Fewer choices mean faster service in a lunch break.
Cover near the hatch helps on wet days.
Film set catering in New Haw, cooked to order
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. We serve cod and chips, pie and chips and mushy peas, and we are regularly asked to cater location filming and wrap parties.
Shoots around New Haw frequently use houses, farms and lanes. Tell us about the route to base. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we will be straight with you about what we can do before you book.
What comes out of the fryer
Pie and chips
Pie and chips gives people a filling alternative to fish.
Haddock and chips
Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. It’s the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
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.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.

Questions from New Haw
Could you trade in Manor Farm?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Ask them first.
Is New Haw close to London?
About 20 miles from central London.
Can the van park on the street?
It depends on the road. Off-road parking is usually simpler; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
Do we need to provide equipment?
All the cooking happens in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site.
Can you adjust to schedule changes?
Schedules move, and we plan for it. A contact on the day is all we need.
Where does the van go on location?
Yes, wherever locations agree; we’ll check the route.
How long does set-up take?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
Do you cater wrap parties?
Yes, it’s a popular wrap. Tell us the details.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Compared with sandwiches on set, a chip van gives the crew a proper hot meal. Larger groups typically cost less per head, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
