Film set catering for your shoot in North Marston
We work with your location manager or production office on access, parking and timings. We are often asked to cater seaside shoots and end-of-shoot parties, serving haddock and chips, mushy peas and pie and chips.
For a shoot in a place like North Marston, tracks and soft ground need checking. The menu is short on purpose: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.

FAQs for North Marston
Is North Marston close to London?
About 43 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Do you come out to small places like North Marston?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We clear the van’s area after service. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.
What about crew who do not eat fish?
Yes: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.
Do you cater wrap parties?
Yes, and crews love it. Tell us the details.
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 will be straight with you about what’s possible.
What happens if it rains?
The weather does not stop the van, because the cooking happens inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
Do numbers include extras?
Yes. Just tell us who counts.
Planning for dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Plan an alternative for anyone we cannot cater for
- Send the unit base address and directions
- Give us a contact for call-time changes
- Agree the waste plan with locations
We clear up quickly after lunch.
A dining area at base helps.
Organising for someone else?
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.
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we will talk you through the process. We’re happy to liaise with facilities on parking and timings.
Planning the van’s spot
We’ll agree the van’s spot with you before the day. It needs to tick a few simple boxes:
- The location’s agreement
- Access checked by locations
- A hardstanding spot at the unit base
Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Next to a sandwich lunch, a chip van gives the crew a proper hot meal. Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. Ask us what applies to your shoot.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. Ask us for a quote and compare.
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 normally the easier option.
