Fresh fish and chips in Peppard Hill
About our film set catering in Peppard Hill
Call times change, so a contact on the day helps and we will adjust where we can. We serve cod and chips, pie and chips and sausage and chips, and we’re frequently booked for lunch at the unit base and music video shoots.
Rural locations near Peppard Hill can be a long way from food, so lunch at base matters. We keep the menu short: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.

About the food
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it’s what most people in the south ask for. We batter it and fry it to order.
Mushy peas
No fish and chips is complete without mushy peas for many people, and they’re on the menu.

- Lunch at the unit base
- Event crews
Within reach of Peppard Hill are historic houses such as Greys Court (1.9 miles north-east) and Mapledurham House (3.5 miles south-west). If you’re shooting at a historic house, the van will need a base agreed with the property.

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Some locations have nowhere to buy food. A van brings lunch to base. 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.

Step by step
A typical booking goes like this: we arrive, park up and set up, the oil comes up to temperature, and food goes out hot at the agreed time. On a winter shoot near Peppard Hill, the light goes by about 3:55pm, so a late lunch or wrap at base needs lighting. In summer, light lasts until about 9:25pm.
- The production office sends us the location, dates, numbers and lunch time.
- You get an access check and a quote.
- We arrange the van’s spot at the unit base with locations.
- We cook to order through the crew’s lunch break.
- We clear up and get out of the way.
How to prepare
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Name one person we can call on the day

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
Where the van can park in Peppard Hill
Plenty of places work for the van, but a few things matter:
- Room for the crew to queue
- A route in the van can manage, with no low branches or tight lanes
- Away from the shooting area’s sound
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before booking.
From the hatch
- Cod and chips
- Sausage and chips
- Crew lunches
- Haddock and chips
- Pie and chips
- Mushy peas
Planning for dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Ask for dietary needs on the crew info form
- Agree how the base is left
- Have a back-up for special diets
- Confirm allergies by email
We arrive at base in good time and set up.
Cover near the hatch helps on wet days.
