Film set catering in Shipton-under-Wychwood, cooked to order
We need a level, firm spot at base, and a route the van can manage. We’re often asked to cater fashion shoots on location and location shoots, with pie and chips, cod and chips and mushy peas.
For a shoot in a place like Shipton-under-Wychwood, tracks and soft ground need checking. We cook inside the van, right where your crew are, so the batter is still crisp when it’s handed over.

Space, access and the venue
A fish and chip van is a vehicle, so the spot matters, so a few things need checking. Here’s what we look for:
- Agreement from the location manager and landowner
- Away from the shooting area’s sound
- A lit spot for dark mornings or evenings
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.

How the day works
We need a level, firm place to park the van, near your crew, and we agree exactly where before the day. In December, daylight in Shipton-under-Wychwood ends around 3:55pm, so the unit base needs lighting for late service. Summer shoots have daylight until about 9:30pm.
- Contact us with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for the crew.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Preparing for the day
- Share the timings for the day
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely

A closer look at the menu
Haddock and chips

Sausage and chips
A sausage and chips is the chip-shop classic for younger crew and fish-dodgers, especially with curry sauce.

Prices and what affects them
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, depending on:
- Service time
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- Cod, haddock or both
- How many people are eating
Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. Ask us what applies to your shoot.
