Film set catering in Stoke Charity, cooked to order
Food is fried to order, so it’s hot when the break is called. We serve haddock and chips, mushy peas and sausage and chips, and we are frequently booked for live events and broadcasts and period dramas on location.
Near Stoke Charity, crews may be miles from anywhere to eat, so lunch at base matters. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is normally the easier option.
How we price a fish and chip van for the crew
We will give you a clear quote. The main things that affect it are:
- How long we serve
- Your choice of menu
- The number of meals
- Parking and the way in
If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we’ll suggest a menu and timing to match. Keeping the menu short is normally the best value.
Details that help
Good planning starts with a few facts. Please include:
- The venue or postcode
- A photo of the space and the way in
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- Expected numbers
Most quotes start with a few simple details: the date, where the van would park, roughly how many people and when you’d like to eat. To send them, fill in our quote form.
Looking after everyone
Most events have a few crew with dietary needs. To look after them:
- Confirm numbers the day before
- Give us a map or what3words for base
- Send allergies to us in writing
- Ask for dietary needs on the crew info form
After service, we pack up and get out of the way.
A dining area at base helps.
What happens on the day
Rain doesn’t stop the fryers, because the cooking happens inside the van. It’s worth thinking about cover for the queue, though. At midsummer, Stoke Charity has light until about 9:25pm.
- We start with a few details about your shoot.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.

- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.
How to prepare

How fast is service?
Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. We will talk it through when we quote.
Can you cook in the rain?
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.

Everything is cooked in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site and we will confirm what we need.

Planners, venues and businesses
For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
Parks, greens and streets generally need permission for a catering van. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
A chip van compared with other options
Long shoots typically need a full catering unit. A chip van suits short shoots and treat days. 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.
Why Stoke Charity hosts choose us
- No surprises in your quote
- Nothing for you to cook or clear
