Fresh fish and chips in Potter's Green
Planners, venues and businesses
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Tell us what your venue needs and we will work through them with you.
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. Ask the council or landowner early.
About our film set catering in Potter's Green
Shoot days are long, and a hot lunch on time matters. A fish and chip van parks at the unit base and fries to order. For ad shoots and fashion shoots on location, we’ll put together a menu of pie and chips, haddock and chips and cod and chips.
For a shoot in a place like Potter's Green, tracks and soft ground need checking with locations. We serve from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and service is quick once we are up and running.

Potter's Green: your questions answered
How far is Potter's Green from London?
Roughly 37 miles from the centre of London.
Do you come out to small places like Potter's Green?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. 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 can crew choose from?
Fish and chips, of course, plus sausage or pie and chips. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.
Can the van come to Potter's Green?
Yes, we do. Potter's Green is one of the places we cover. Send us your date to check availability.
What areas do you cover?
London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Potter's Green.
Who clears up?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Let us know about bins for crew.
Is everything cooked fresh?
It is. The fryers are in the van, so food is cooked there and then, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the shoot.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
