About our film set catering in Pyrford Green
On a long shoot day, a good hot lunch keeps morale up. A fish and chip van parks at the unit base and fries to order. We are frequently asked to cater music video shoots and outside broadcasts, with cod and chips, haddock and chips and pie and chips.
For a shoot in a place like Pyrford Green, tracks and soft ground need checking. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer before you book.

Pyrford Green questions
Do you come out to small places like Pyrford Green?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Could you trade in Manor Farm?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Is grass a problem?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and send a picture if you can.
What will the production need?
Every production asks for different things, so send us the list and we’ll go through it.
How much does a fish and chip van for the crew cost in Pyrford Green?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and travel. Tell us about your shoot and we’ll send a quote.
Can you cook in the rain?
The weather does not 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 areas do you cover?
We take the van across London and the South East, Surrey included. Find your area.
Do we need to provide equipment?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is typically the easier option.
What happens on the day
A typical booking goes like this: we arrive, park up and set up, the oil comes up to temperature, and we serve hot from the hatch when you are ready to eat. Light in Pyrford Green lasts until about 9:20pm at midsummer; for dawn calls or late wraps, plan lighting at base.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
How to prepare
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
- Let us know the serving time
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
