About our film set catering in Rushmoor
Everything is cooked as crew come up, so lunch is hot and fresh. Typical bookings include music video shoots and fashion shoots on location, with pie and chips, cod and chips and sausage and chips.
Near Rushmoor, check tracks and ground for the van with locations. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, not cooked earlier and kept warm, and served the moment it comes out of the fryer.
Is a fish and chip van right for your shoot?
Long shoots normally need a full catering unit. A van is great for short jobs and crew treats. A chip van frequently compares well with a plated meal, as there’s no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. We will send you a quote.

Questions from Rushmoor
Is Rushmoor close to London?
Roughly 37 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Do you come to venues in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We will follow the site rules.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.
Do we need to provide equipment?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.
Can the van park on grass?
Generally, if it is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
What does the van need?
Not much: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, that the van can reach easily. If in doubt, send a picture.
Do you come to Rushmoor?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, including Rushmoor and the rest of Surrey. To check your date, send us your details through our quote form.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes. The fryers are in the van, so it is fried on the spot, rather than made in advance.
Planners, venues and businesses
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Staggering groups helps a lot.

Shooting in Rushmoor: unit bases and access
Rushmoor is about 4 miles south-east of Farnham, in Surrey. For shoots in Rushmoor, we plan around your venue and timings: a clear quote, an agreed spot for the van and food fried fresh on the day. We take the van to 395 places across Surrey, from the larger towns to small villages. You can also see our page for Guildford, about 10 miles away.
Rushmoor is about 37 miles from central London, within easy reach for London-based crews. Crew coming by rail can use the station: Farnham station, about 4.2 miles north-west, is the nearest station. The Surrey Hills National Landscape is within about 4 miles of Rushmoor, so check vehicle rules with locations.
For shoots in GU10, we just need to know where the van can park and roughly how many crew. From Sandy Lane, Lowicks Road and Tilford Road or anywhere nearby, we can park up and fry there. For shoots just outside Rushmoor, we cover Tilford Common (1 mile north), Pitch Place (1 mile south-east), Crosswater (1 mile south-west), Thursley (2 miles east) and Green Cross (2 miles south). We also serve nearby towns such as Guildford (10 miles north-east), Woking (13 miles north-east), Camberley (12 miles north), Farnham (4 miles north-west), Frimley (11 miles north) and Haslemere (5 miles south).

What a fish and chip van costs
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, because of:
- Access and parking
- Numbers
- Cod, haddock or both
- The date and time of year
There’s 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
The more we know about your shoot, the better we can plan. Try to include:
- A picture of where the van would go
- The address or venue name
- Where the van would park
- Any dietary needs and allergies

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
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.
What comes out of the fryer
Curry sauce
Some people won’t eat chips without curry sauce, so we bring it along.
Gravy
In the north and the Midlands, gravy is the side of choice, and it’s lovely with a pie.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
