Film set catering in Poffley End, cooked to order
Food is fried to order, so it is hot when the break is called. Whether it is period dramas on location and location shoots, we can cook haddock and chips, mushy peas and pie and chips.
For a shoot in a place like Poffley End, tracks and soft ground need checking with locations. Food is served straight from the hatch, so it is hot and generous, and the queue keeps moving.

Takeaway run or book a van?
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is normally simpler.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
Allergies and dietary needs
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. Our advice:
- Agree how the base is left
- Share the base location and route
- Have a back-up for special diets
- Update numbers if they change
We work to the lunch time on the call sheet, with a contact for changes.
Tables or a marquee at base make lunch comfortable.
Space, access and the venue
We will be honest if a spot will not work. What matters most:
- Room for the crew to queue
- Level, firm ground at base
- Clear of the shot and sound
Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly.

Poffley End: your questions answered
Do you come out to small places like Poffley End?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
What’s the nearest station to Poffley End?
The closest is Finstock station, roughly 3 miles away.
Do you cover Poffley End?
Yes. We take the van across London and the South East, including Poffley End and the rest of Oxfordshire. For a quote, send us your details through our quote form.
Can you park at the unit base?
Yes, on level ground at base; we’ll check the route.
Can you feed supporting artists too?
Yes, include them in numbers. Confirm numbers the day before.
What happens if it rains?
The weather doesn’t stop the van, because the fryers are inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
What can crew choose from?
Chip-shop favourites: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
No, not as standard: batter is normally made with wheat flour. Let us know and we will tell you what we can do before you book.
Why choose a fish and chip van in Poffley End?
Takeaway rarely reaches a location hot. A van cooks at the unit base. The cost per head usually falls as numbers rise, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Give us your numbers and we will quote.
