Parks, greens and streets typically need permission for a catering van. Ask the council or landowner early.
Film set catering for your shoot in Stoke Goldington
We work with your location manager or production office on access, parking and timings. Whether it is crew treats on long shoot days and seaside and period locations, we will put together a menu of haddock and chips, mushy peas and pie and chips.
Near Stoke Goldington, check tracks and ground for the van with locations. We serve from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and service is quick once we’re up and running.

Diets, allergies and planning
Most events have a few crew with dietary needs. To plan for them:
- Let us know about coeliac disease
- Confirm allergies by email
- Give us a contact for call-time changes
- Plan bins and waste at base
Lunch is planned around the call sheet, and a contact keeps us updated.
A dining area at base helps.
How the day works
We get there well before service, park the van and get the fryers going. Crew generally gather round the hatch once service starts. On a winter shoot near Stoke Goldington, the light goes by about 3:55pm, so the unit base needs lighting for late service. Summer shoots have daylight until about 9:25pm.
- It starts with the unit base, dates and numbers.
- We check access and send a quote.
- We arrange the van’s spot at the unit base with locations.
- We set up at the unit base and fry to order for the lunch break.
- We pack up straight after service and leave the base tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Ensure the van can get in
- Name one person we can call on the day
Getting a price

The menu, dish by dish
Mushy peas
Proper mushy peas start with dried marrowfat peas. They’re the classic side with fish and chips.
Haddock and chips
Haddock has loyal fans: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.
Takeaway run or book a van?
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 a crowd, a van is generally simpler.
Prices and what affects them
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, depending on:
- The menu and how many choices
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- Distance and any road charges
- Service time
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.
Getting an accurate quote
Here’s what makes a quick, accurate quote possible:
- Where the event is
- Dietary needs, with numbers
- Where you’d like the van to go
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
Getting a quote is simple: share your date, address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat. We’ll send a clear quote that says what’s included.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
For a crew treat, a fish and chip van is a great choice. Most vans have a minimum charge, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. Ask us what applies to your shoot.
Why book with us
- The queue at the hatch gets people talking
- Cod, haddock, sausages and pies
- A clear quote before you book
- Hot food handed straight over

Your questions about a fish and chip van for the crew in Stoke Goldington
Is Stoke Goldington too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
What’s the nearest station to Stoke Goldington?
The closest is Wolverton station, roughly 4.7 miles away.
How long does set-up take?
We get there in good time to set up. We’ll agree arrival and serving times with you so food is ready when you want it.
How much space do you need?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, near your crew, and space for a queue. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
How long will the queue be?
Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. Tell us your timings and we will advise.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Let us know about coeliac crew in advance, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer.
What about crew who don’t eat fish?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Tell us about other diets and we’ll be honest about what’s possible.
What happens if it rains?
We cook inside the van, so rain does not stop us. It’s worth planning some cover for the queue.
