Film set catering for your shoot in Roxbourne
We need a level, firm spot at base, and a clear route in. For commercials and music videos and crew morale days, we can cook cod and chips, haddock and chips and mushy peas.
In Roxbourne, access to base can be tight, so send us the route and restrictions. Food is served straight from the hatch, so it is hot and generous, and the queue keeps moving.

How it works
We need time before service to bring the fryers up to heat, so we always arrive well ahead of your serving time. Winter shoots near Roxbourne chase the light, which goes at about 3:55pm in December.
- We start with the location, call times and crew numbers.
- We check access and send a quote.
- Parking and arrival are agreed with locations.
- We set up at the unit base and fry to order for the lunch break.
- We pack up straight after service and leave the base tidy.

Common questions in Roxbourne
Can the van park in Eastcote House Gardens?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Which station is closest to Roxbourne?
The closest is South Ruislip station, roughly 1.4 miles away.
What areas do you cover?
London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Roxbourne.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Let us know about coeliac crew in advance, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible.
Do you cater wrap parties?
We do. It’s a great way to end a shoot.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes. The fryers are in the van, so food is cooked there and then, rather than made in advance.
How long are you on site?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
Do you need power or water?
Tell us what’s available at the site when you enquire, and we will say what we need.
What affects the price in Roxbourne
The price comes down to a few factors:
- The length of service
- The date and time of year
- The number of meals
- The menu and how many choices
There is no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. We set everything out in your quote.
Getting an accurate quote
To speed things up, tell us:
- Where the van would park
- Where the event is
- A picture of where the van would go
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
Not sure of numbers yet? No problem: tell us the basics about your shoot, and we will quote on that. Start when you are ready: fill in our quote form.

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Long shoots generally need a full catering unit. A chip van suits short shoots and treat days. The cost per head usually falls as numbers rise, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we will quote.
Why us?
- No kitchen needed
- Events in Roxbourne and across Greater London
- Something for crew to gather round
- Quick service from the hatch

Planners, venues and businesses
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Staggering groups helps a lot.
Planning for dietary needs
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Try these:
- Agree how the base is left
- Name a contact in the production office
- Ask for dietary needs on the crew info form
- Put allergy details in writing
A short menu keeps the line moving.
Bins at base keep the location clean.
Planning the van’s spot
The van has to be able to get in and park safely, so a few things need checking. Here’s what we look for:
- The location’s agreement
- A level, firm spot at the unit base
- A clear route to base
Roxbourne is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly before you book.
