Film set catering in Oxted, cooked to order
Locations and the production office can deal with us directly. Whether it’s stills shoots and seaside and period locations, we can cook haddock and chips, pie and chips and cod and chips and more.
For a location shoot near Oxted, base might be in a field or farmyard, so ground conditions matter. The menu is short on purpose: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.
Common questions in Oxted
Which station is closest to Oxted?
Hurst Green station, about 0.5 miles south-east of the centre.
Is Oxted close to London?
Roughly 18 miles from the centre of London.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Let us know about coeliac crew in advance, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible.
Can you adjust to schedule changes?
We expect changes. Keep us updated and we’ll adapt.
How much is fish and chip van hire?
We quote for each booking, based on your numbers and timings. Tell us your date and rough numbers and we will reply with a price.
Is there a non-fish option?
Yes: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Yes. Children typically love sausage and chips. Include children in your numbers.
Do you need power or water?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Mention any power or water available and we will take it from there.
About the food
Curry sauce
Chip-shop curry sauce is a mild, slightly sweet British classic, perfect with chips or a sausage.
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it’s the favourite in much of the south. We batter it and fry it to order, so it is crisp when it reaches you.
Before you choose a spot
Before the day, we will agree where the van parks. It needs to tick a few simple boxes:
- Lighting for early or late service
- A clear route to base
- Level, firm ground at base
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
Popular choices

Prices and what affects them
The price comes down to a few factors:
- How far we travel
- Any minimum charge
- Your choice of menu
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
Larger groups generally 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.
What to tell us
You do not need everything decided to ask for a quote, but it helps to know:
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- A photo of the parking spot
- The spot you have in mind for the van
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
Every quote is worked out for your event. Start with your date, and we will check availability right away.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
For a crew treat, a fish and chip van is a great choice. 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.
Why Oxted hosts choose us
- Bookings across Surrey, including Oxted
- Classic food your crew already know
- Hot food handed straight over
- Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy on the side
