About our film set catering in Stone
On a long shoot day, a good hot lunch keeps morale up. A fish and chip van parks at the unit base and fries to order. Typical bookings include fashion shoots on location and music video shoots, with pie and chips, mushy peas and sausage and chips.
Near Stone, crews may be miles from anywhere to eat, so lunch at base matters. The menu is short on purpose: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet

Questions from Stone
What’s the nearest station to Stone?
The closest is Aylesbury Vale Parkway station, roughly 1.9 miles away.
Is Stone 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.
How long are you on site?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. We will agree arrival and serving times with you so food is ready when you want it.
Which areas do you serve?
London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
What if we only have street parking?
That depends on local parking rules. Off-road parking is typically simpler; for the street, check the council’s rules.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Let us know and we’ll tell you what we can do.
Can you work to the call sheet?
Yes. Tell us the lunch time and a contact on the day, and we will work around changes where we can.
Can you cater for allergies?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Tell us about allergies in advance.
What happens on the day
The first sign we have arrived is normally the smell, about the time the first crew wander across. From then on, people come up as they’re ready. Winter shoots near Stone chase the light, which goes at about 3:55pm in December, so lunch at base is frequently in daylight but a wrap meal isn’t.
- We start with the location, call times and crew numbers.
- We check access and send a quote.
- We arrange the van’s spot at the unit base with locations.
- We cook to order through the crew’s lunch break.
- We clear up and get out of the way.
How to prepare
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Let us know the serving time

What a fish and chip van costs
Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:
- How far we travel
- How many people are eating
- The date and time of year
- How easy the site is to reach
Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. We set everything out in your quote.
What to tell us
To check availability and price, we need:
- Where you’d like the van to go
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- A picture of the parking spot
- Allergies and diets you know about
It’s easy to get a price: tell us the date, place, numbers and serving time. We’ll send a clear quote that says what’s included.
Takeaway run or book a 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.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
