Film set catering in St George's Hill, cooked to order
We need a level, firm spot at base, and a route the van can manage. Typical bookings include fashion shoots on location and outside broadcasts, with haddock and chips, mushy peas and pie and chips.
Shoots around St George's Hill frequently use houses, farms and lanes. Tell us about the route to base. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we will be straight with you about what we can do before booking.
About the food
Haddock and chips
Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.
Pie and chips
Pie and chips gives people a filling alternative to fish, perfect with gravy.
Step by step
You do not need to do much on the day: show us the spot, tell us when to start, and enjoy your shoot. The frying and serving are down to us. Sunset in St George's Hill is about 8:55pm in late May, 9:20pm at midsummer and 7:05pm in late September; for early or late service, base needs lighting.
- Get in touch with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for the crew.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
How to prepare
- Name one person we can call on the day
- Let us know the serving time
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates

How we price a fish and chip van for the crew
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, depending on:
- Parking and the way in
- How far we travel
- The date and time of year
- The number of meals
Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so tell us exactly where your shoot is.
What we need to know
You do not need every detail fixed to get a quote, but it helps to know:
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- A picture of the parking spot
- Expected numbers
- Where you’d like the van to go
It is easy to get a price: tell us the date, place, numbers and serving time. We will send a clear quote that says what’s included.
Looking after everyone
A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Try these:

We work to the lunch time on the call sheet, and a contact keeps us updated.

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.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is usually the easier option.
A chip van compared with other options
Wrap parties add up. A van keeps it relaxed and simple. There is 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. We set everything out in your quote.
What you get with us
- We cover St George's Hill and the whole of Surrey
