Film set catering for Radley events
What comes out of the fryer
Haddock and chips
Some people swear by haddock: a firmer flake and a sweeter taste. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.
Mushy peas
No fish and chips is complete without mushy peas for many people, and they’re on the menu.

Call times change, so a contact on the day helps and we’ll work around it. We serve haddock and chips, mushy peas and pie and chips, and typical bookings are for music video shoots and stills shoots.

How we price a fish and chip van for the crew
Your quote will be clear. The main things that affect it are:
- How far we travel
- Numbers
- Service time
- The date and time of year
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 will send you a quote.
What to tell us
These details help us quote quickly:
- A picture of the parking spot
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- The spot you have in mind for the van
- Any dietary needs and allergies
We only need a few details to quote: the date, where the van would park, roughly how many people and when you’d like to eat. You can send us your details through our quote form.
For event organisers in Radley
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll work through them with you.
A fish and chip van or other catering?
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.

Radley: your questions answered
Do you come out to small places like Radley?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
How far is Radley from London?
Roughly 51 miles from the centre of London.
Can you park on the road outside?
Only where it’s legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Ask your council early.
Is grass a problem?
Frequently, if the ground is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes. We cook inside the van, so it’s fried on the spot, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
Can you park at the unit base?
Generally, with a level spot. Locations will decide where.
Do you cover Radley?
Yes, we do. We serve events in Radley and across Oxfordshire. Tell us your date and we will check availability.
How much does a fish and chip van for the crew cost in Radley?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and travel. Send us the details for a quote.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We are happy to send a quote so you can compare.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.

- Whether travel is included
The process
Rain doesn’t stop the fryers, because the cooking happens inside the van. It’s worth thinking about cover for the queue, though. In December, daylight in Radley ends around 3:55pm, so a late lunch or wrap at base needs lighting. Summer shoots have daylight until about 9:25pm.
- First, tell us about your shoot.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for the crew.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.
Before we arrive
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Tell us when you want to eat
How to get a price
We quote for each event separately, based on your numbers, timings and travel. To ask for one, send us your details through our quote form.
