Film set catering in South Weston, fried fresh
Call times change, so a contact on the day helps and we will work around it. We’re frequently asked to cater live events and broadcasts and location shoots, with cod and chips, haddock and chips and mushy peas.
For a shoot in a place like South Weston, tracks and soft ground need checking. We serve from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and the queue keeps moving.

South Weston: your questions answered
Is South Weston close to London?
Roughly 40 miles from the centre of London.
Do you come out to small places like South Weston?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
How much space do you need?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, close to where people will eat, and space for a queue. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
How much does a fish and chip van for the crew cost in South Weston?
Every booking is quoted individually, based on your numbers and timings. Tell us your date and rough numbers and we’ll reply with a price.
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.
Is the food cooked at the event?
It is. We cook inside the van, so food is cooked there and then, rather than made in advance.
What’s on the menu?
Fish and chips, of course, with sausages and pies for anyone who doesn’t want fish. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.
Can the van park on grass?
Normally, if it is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
What a fish and chip van costs
The same numbers can mean different prices, depending on:
- Whether a minimum applies
- How many people are eating
- The day of the week
- How far we travel
The cost per head usually falls as numbers rise, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
What we need to know
To speed things up, tell us:
- A picture of where the van would go
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- Dietary needs, with numbers
- Rough numbers for adults and children
Not sure of numbers yet? That is fine: give us a rough idea and the date, and we’ll firm it up nearer the time. To start, use our quote form.
Before you choose a spot
Plenty of places work for the van, but there are a few things to check:
- A clear route to base
- The location’s agreement
- A level, firm spot at the unit base
Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Organising for someone else?
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll work through them with you.
Planning an event for a club, school or charity in South Weston? Fish and chips is a reliable crowd-pleaser. Give us the details and we’ll suggest how it could work.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is usually simpler.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
The process
Your timings come first. If the day runs behind, we hold off cooking until you are ready, so the food is still fresh when it is served. In December, daylight in South Weston ends around 3:55pm, so the unit base needs lighting for late service. Summer shoots have daylight until about 9:25pm.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive in good time to set up.
- Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.
How to prepare
- Let us know the serving time
- Keep space clear for crew at the hatch
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
