Your questions about a fish and chip van for the crew in Stadhampton
Is Stadhampton close to London?
Roughly 46 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
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 will work to whatever the site needs.
How much space do you need?
Less than you might think: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, that the van can reach easily. Send us a picture if you’re not sure.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
What happens if it rains?
We carry on in the rain, because the fryers are inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
Do you cater wrap parties?
Yes, and crews love it. Send us the date and place.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Let us know numbers, and we’ll include them in the plan.
Can you work to the call sheet?
We can. Give us a contact for changes, and we will adjust where possible.
Film set catering for your shoot in Stadhampton
Location shoots, commercials and wrap parties all suit a chip van. We are often asked to cater seaside shoots and location shoots, with cod and chips, sausage and chips and pie and chips.
Rural locations near Stadhampton can be a long way from food, so a van at base is a big help. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer.

Food your guests will love
Pie and chips
For a heartier option, there’s pie and chips.
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, so it is crisp when it reaches you.
Perfect for your shoot in Stadhampton
It suits short shoots without a full catering unit.
Whatever brings people together, a chip van is a crowd-pleaser. We are frequently booked for:

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
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 typically simpler.
Diets, allergies and planning
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Put allergy details in writing
- Have a back-up for special diets
- Ask for dietary needs on the crew info form
- Agree how the base is left
We clear up quickly after lunch.
A dining area at base helps.

What a fish and chip van costs
Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- The minimum booking
- Parking and the way in
- Cod, haddock or both
Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. We will tell you up front.
What we need to know
When you get in touch, it helps to tell us:
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
- Where the van would park
- Where the event is
- A picture of the space and the way in
Getting a quote is simple: share your date, address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat. We will send a clear quote that says what’s included.
Step by step
Rain doesn’t stop the fryers, because the cooking happens inside the van. Crew will still appreciate a bit of cover near the hatch. Light in Stadhampton lasts until about 9:25pm at midsummer; for dawn calls or late wraps, plan lighting at base.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks, and how it gets in.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
Preparing for the day
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
- Let us know the serving time
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
