Film set catering for your shoot in Stonehill
On a long shoot day, a good hot lunch keeps morale up. We park at the unit base and cook to order. For location shoots and treat days on a long shoot, we can cook cod and chips, haddock and chips and mushy peas for your guests.
Near Stonehill, crews may be miles from anywhere to eat, so a van at base is a big help. Everything is fried fresh at your shoot, not cooked earlier and kept warm, and served the moment it comes out of the fryer.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
A full location catering unit suits long shoots with three meals a day. A chip van suits short shoots and treat days. A chip van often compares well with a plated meal, as there is no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. Ask us for a quote.
Why book with us
- Events in Stonehill and across Surrey
- Cod, haddock, sausages and pies
- Works on wet days as well as sunny ones
- Nothing for you to cook or clear

What else we do in Stonehill
How it works
Because we cook inside the van, rain doesn’t stop us. Crew will still appreciate a bit of cover near the hatch. At midsummer, Stonehill has light until about 9:20pm, while by late September it is nearer 7:05pm.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.
Before we arrive
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Clear the route for the van

Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Could you trade in Gracious Pond?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.

Proper fish and chips, plus sausage or pie and chips. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
It depends on the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and we’ll advise.

Of course. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Include children in your numbers.

We take the van across London and the South East, including Surrey. See all areas.

Should I sort the food myself?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the shoot.
