Film set catering for your shoot in Sherfield English
A chip van is a popular crew treat on a long shoot, alongside regular catering. For treat days on a long shoot and stills shoots, we’ll put together a menu of haddock and chips, cod and chips and mushy peas.
Rural locations near Sherfield English can be a long way from food, so a van at base is a big help. You’ll know what’s included before booking: the date, the service time and the menu, with no surprises on the day.
What happens on the day
Nothing is cooked before it’s needed. Fish is battered and fried when people come up to the hatch, which is why it tastes like it does at the seaside. Light in Sherfield English lasts until about 9:25pm at midsummer; for dawn calls or late wraps, plan lighting at base.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks.
- 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
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue

Sherfield English: your questions answered
Which station is closest to Sherfield English?
Mottisfont & Dunbridge station, about 2.9 miles north-east of the centre.
Is Sherfield English too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Can the van park on grass?
Usually, if it’s firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
What’s on the menu?
The classics: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
Which areas do you serve?
We take the van across London and the South East, including Hampshire. Find your area.
Do you cater wrap parties?
We do. A chip van suits a relaxed wrap party.
How long will the queue be?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we’ll plan service around it.
What if lunch moves?
Yes. Give us a contact for changes, and we’ll work around changes where we can.
Diets, allergies and planning
A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Here’s how:
- Share the base location and route
- Confirm allergies by email
- Flag any coeliac crew
- Update numbers if they change
Tell us if supporting artists are eating.
Bins at base keep the location clean.
For event organisers in Sherfield English
Parks, greens and streets normally need permission for a catering van. Ask the council or landowner early.
Venues frequently have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll work through them with you.
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.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
Food your guests will love
Mushy peas
Proper mushy peas start with dried marrowfat peas. They’re the classic side with fish and chips.
Haddock and chips
Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. It is the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.
- 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
