Film set catering in Steventon, cooked to order
We cater location shoots, unit bases, commercials, music videos and wrap parties. Typical bookings include unit base lunches and photo shoots, with pie and chips, cod and chips and mushy peas.
For a shoot in a place like Steventon, tracks and soft ground need checking with locations. We serve from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and service is quick once we’re up and running.

What to look for in a quote

Planning for dietary needs
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Try these:
- Agree how the base is left

- Update numbers if they change
We set up at the unit base ahead of lunch.
End the shoot with a chip van wrap.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
Planners, venues and businesses
Organising a club, school or community event in Steventon? A fish and chip van draws people in and almost everyone likes it. Give us the details and we will suggest how it could work.
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can hold the date.
Planning a shoot in Steventon
Steventon is about 3 miles west of Didcot, in Oxfordshire. For shoots in Steventon, we plan around your venue and timings: a clear quote, an agreed spot for the van and food fried fresh on the day. Steventon is one of 443 towns and villages in Oxfordshire where we bring the van. You can also see our page for Oxford, about 10 miles away.
Crew coming by rail can use the station: the nearest station is Didcot Parkway station, about 3.6 miles east.
Anywhere in OX13, we can fry fresh for your crew, from busy streets to quiet lanes. Your shoot could be at a house on High Street, St Michael's Way and Hanney Road or the roads around them, wherever the van can park. Nearby, we also serve shoots in Milton Heights (1 mile south-east), Milton Hill (1 mile south-east), Drayton (2 miles north), Sutton Wick (2 miles north-east) and Marcham (3 miles north). We also serve nearby towns such as Oxford (10 miles north-east), Didcot (3 miles east), Abingdon-on-Thames (4 miles north-east), Witney (13 miles north-west), Carterton (15 miles north-west) and Wantage (5 miles south-west).

The process
You do not need to do much on the day: point us to the spot and get on with your shoot. We handle the cooking and serving. In December, daylight in Steventon ends around 3:55pm, so a late lunch or wrap at base needs lighting. In summer, light lasts until about 9:25pm.
- 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.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for the crew.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Getting ready for the day
- Have a level parking spot ready
- Let us know the serving time
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
Ask for a quote
Each quote is put together for your shoot. Give us your date first, and we’ll confirm whether we are available that day.

Steventon questions
Is Steventon close to London?
Roughly 54 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Do you come out to small places like Steventon?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes, always. We fry to order in the van at your venue, and serve straight from the hatch.
How do you handle allergies?
Let us know about allergies in advance, and we will tell you what’s in each item.
Can the van park on grass?
Usually, if it’s firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
When do you arrive?
We get there in good time to set up. Timings are agreed in advance.
Does the batter contain gluten?
No, not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Let us know and we will tell you what we can do before you book.
What do you bring?
The van comes fully equipped to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.
Is a fish and chip van right for your shoot?
Compared with sandwiches on set, a chip van gives the crew a proper hot meal. There’s no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. Your quote spells it all out.
