Film set catering in Spelsbury, cooked to order
A van can get a crew fed quickly within the lunch break, without needing a kitchen on location. Typical bookings include location shoots and photo shoots, with pie and chips, sausage and chips and haddock and chips.
Near Spelsbury, crews may be miles from anywhere to eat, so lunch at base matters. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, not cooked earlier and kept warm.

For event organisers in Spelsbury
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we will explain how it works. We’re happy to liaise with facilities on parking and timings.
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan service to match. Staggering groups helps a lot.
Space, access and the venue
Before the day, we’ll agree where the van parks. It needs to tick a few simple boxes:
- The location’s agreement
- Space in front of the hatch
- A level, firm spot at the unit base
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.
What we serve
- Cod and chips
- Haddock and chips
- Sausage and chips
- Mushy peas
- Pie and chips
- Crew lunches
The process
When we arrive, 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. Daylight is short on winter shoots near Spelsbury: sunset is about 3:55pm, so lunch at base is often in daylight but a wrap meal isn’t.
- Contact us with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- A photo 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.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
How to prepare
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
- Confirm the van is allowed on site

A fish and chip van or other catering?
Some locations have nowhere to buy food. The van solves that. There’s no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. Your quote spells it all out.
Why us?
- Rain doesn’t stop the fryers
- Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy on the side
- No kitchen needed
- Hot food handed straight over

Spelsbury: your questions answered
What’s the nearest station to Spelsbury?
Charlbury station, about 1.5 miles south of the centre.
Do you come out to small places like Spelsbury?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Can you adjust to schedule changes?
We can. Give us a contact for changes, and we’ll work around changes where we can.
Where does the van go on location?
Usually, if there is level, firm ground. Locations will decide where.
What paperwork do you provide?
Productions vary, so ask your production office for the list and we’ll go through it.
How long are you on site?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
Can you cook in the rain?
The weather doesn’t stop the van, because the fryers are inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
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.
Diets, allergies and planning
Nearly every event has some special diets. To look after them:
- Let us know about coeliac disease
- Ensure we can reach locations on the day
- Agree how the base is left
- Confirm numbers the day before
A short menu keeps the line moving in a lunch break.
A gazebo by the van keeps the line dry.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. We are happy to send a quote so you can compare.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
- 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
