Schedules move, so give us a contact on the day and we will work around it. We’re often asked to cater shoots on location and commercials and music videos, serving mushy peas, sausage and chips and haddock and chips.
Around Shepperton Green, locations can be rural. Tell us about the route to base. The menu is short on purpose: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.

With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. Our advice:
- Send allergies to us in writing

- Give us a contact for call-time changes
We set up at the unit base ahead of lunch.

FAQs for Shepperton Green
How far is Shepperton Green from London?
About 17 miles from central London, and well within our area.
What’s the nearest station to Shepperton Green?
Shepperton station, about 0.7 miles south-east of the centre.
Do we need to provide equipment?
All the cooking happens in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site.
How much does a fish and chip van for the crew cost in Shepperton Green?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and travel. Tell us about your shoot and we’ll send a quote.
Do you need power or water?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Tell us whether there’s power or water nearby and we’ll take it from there.
Is there something for children?
Of course. Children normally love sausage and chips. Include children in your numbers.
Is the food cooked at the event?
It is. We cook inside the van, so food is cooked there and then, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
How long does set-up take?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. Timings are agreed in advance.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your crew instead.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is usually simpler.
