How our film set catering works in Pitchcott

The van needs level, firm ground at the unit base, and a route the van can manage. Typical bookings include crew treats on long shoot days and unit base lunches, with cod and chips, sausage and chips and mushy peas.

Near Pitchcott, crews may be miles from anywhere to eat, so a van at base is a big help. We cook inside the van, right where your crew are, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.

Should I sort the food myself?

Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.

Questions from Pitchcott

Which station is closest to Pitchcott?

The closest is Aylesbury Vale Parkway station, roughly 3.3 miles away.

Is Pitchcott too small for a chip van?

No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.

What happens if it rains?

We carry on in the rain, because the cooking happens inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.

What does it cost to hire the van?

The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and travel. Send us the details for a quote.

Do you do anything other than fish?

We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we’ll be honest about what’s possible.

Where can the van park?

Less than you might think: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, that the van can reach easily. Send us a photo if you’re not sure.

Can the van come to Pitchcott?

Yes. We cover London and the South East, including Pitchcott. For a quote, use our quote form.

Do you need power or water?

A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Tell us whether there’s power or water nearby and we’ll take it from there.

A fish and chip van or other catering?

Ordering takeaway to a location is unreliable. The van cooks on site. Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is often good value, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. We’ll send you a quote.
