Film set catering in Speen, fried fresh

Food is fried to order, so it is hot when the break is called. For lunch at the unit base and crew treats on long shoot days, we will put together a menu of haddock and chips, mushy peas and pie and chips.

Prices and what affects them

There are no hidden charges: the quote reflects:

Distance and any road charges
Numbers
The length of service
Parking and the way in

Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. We’ll tell you up front.

Details that help

Good planning starts with a few facts. Please include:

What comes out of the fryer

Haddock and chips

Haddock has loyal fans: a firmer flake and a sweeter taste. Tell us if you’d like to offer it.

Cod and chips

Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it’s the favourite in much of the south. We batter it and fry it to order.

A fish and chip van or other catering?

Next to a sandwich lunch, a chip van gives the crew a proper hot meal. The cost per head generally falls as numbers rise, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.

Why us?

Everything cooked to order at your event
Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy on the side
Something for crew to gather round
No surprises in your quote

Takeaway run or book a van?

You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.

Your questions about a fish and chip van for the crew in Speen

What’s the nearest station to Speen?

The closest is Saunderton station, roughly 2.1 miles away.

Can the van go to venues in the Chilterns National Landscape?

Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We’ll follow the site rules.

Where do you take the van?

London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.

Of course. Let us know total numbers.

Can you adjust to schedule changes?

We can. Give us a contact for changes, and we will work around changes where we can.

How much space do you need?

Not much: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, with a clear way in. Send us a picture if you are not sure.

Can you serve children?

Of course. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Include children in your numbers.
