Film set catering for Temple Valley events
How the day works
When we arrive, we position the van, set up the hatch and get the fryers up to temperature. Once we are hot, we cook to order, timed around your shoot. In December, daylight in Temple Valley ends around 4:00pm, so a late lunch or wrap at base needs lighting. Summer shoots have daylight until about 9:25pm.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks, and how it gets in.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
How to prepare
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
Getting a price
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: where the van would park, how to get in, numbers and timings. Photos of the spot and the way in help. To send your details, send us your details through our quote form.

Locations and the production office can deal with us directly. We’re often asked to cater shoots on location and fashion shoots on location, with sausage and chips, mushy peas and haddock and chips.
For a shoot in a place like Temple Valley, tracks and soft ground need checking with locations. We bring the van and everything we need to cook, and we leave the pitch tidy when we go.
Prices and what affects them
Fish and chip van pricing is simple once we know the basics:
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- Numbers
- Whether a minimum applies
- Cod, haddock or both
A chip van often compares well with a plated meal, as there is no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. We’ll send you a quote.
What to tell us
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- Where the event is
- Roughly how many people, including children
- Where the van would park
- Anything awkward about the way in

Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
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.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
