Film set catering for your shoot in Shepperton
Location shoots, commercials and wrap parties all suit a chip van. On the menu are sausage and chips, mushy peas and cod and chips, and we are often booked for event crews and photo shoots.
Around Shepperton, locations can be rural. Tell us about the route to base. We serve from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and service is quick once we are up and running.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
Planners, venues and businesses
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we will talk you through the process. We are happy to liaise with facilities on parking and timings.
Parks, greens and streets normally need permission for a catering van. Ask the council or landowner early.

Step by step
On the day, we position the van, set up the hatch and get the fryers up to temperature. Then everything is fried to order, so we time it to your schedule. At midsummer, Shepperton has light until about 9:20pm, while by late September it’s nearer 7:05pm.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks, and how it gets in.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Before we arrive
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park

Common questions in Shepperton
What’s the nearest station to Shepperton?
Shepperton has its own station: Shepperton station.
How far is Shepperton from London?
About 17 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Can you cook in the rain?
The weather does not stop the van, because the cooking happens inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
Where can the van park?
Less than you might think: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, that the van can reach easily. Send us a picture if you’re not sure.
What does it cost to hire the van?
Every booking is quoted individually, so the price fits what you need. Give us your date, numbers and serving time and we will reply with a price.
Do you bring everything you need?
All the cooking happens in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site.
Is grass a problem?
Generally, if it’s firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
Can you park on the road outside?
That depends on local parking rules. A drive, car park or yard is usually easier; for the street, check the council’s rules.
Diets, allergies and planning
We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer. To make it work smoothly:
- Send the unit base address and directions
- Send allergies to us in writing
- Have a back-up for special diets
- Agree the waste plan with locations
We arrive at base in good time and set up.
