Film set catering in Tetsworth, fried fresh
Everything is cooked as crew come up, so it’s hot when the break is called. We are frequently asked to cater lunch at the unit base and location shoots, serving sausage and chips, haddock and chips and pie and chips.
For a shoot in a place like Tetsworth, tracks and soft ground need checking. We bring the van and everything we need to cook, and we leave the pitch tidy when we go.

How the day works
When we arrive, we park up on the agreed spot, set up and heat the fryers. Then everything is fried to order, so we time it to your schedule. Daylight is short on winter shoots near Tetsworth: sunset is about 3:55pm, so lunch at base is frequently in daylight but a wrap meal isn’t.
- Contact us with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- A photo of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for the crew.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Getting ready for the day
- Name one person we can call on the day
- Get permission for the van from the venue
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
How to get a price
Every quote is worked out for your event. Give us your date first, and we will confirm whether we’re available that day.

Common questions in Tetsworth
Which station is closest to Tetsworth?
The closest is Haddenham & Thame Parkway station, roughly 5 miles away.
Do you come out to small places like Tetsworth?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes. We fry to order in the van at your venue, then handed over hot from the hatch.
Can the van come to our wrap?
We do. A chip van suits a relaxed wrap party.
What paperwork do you provide?
Productions vary, so ask your production office for the list and we will go through it.
How long will the queue be?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Give us your numbers and service window, and we will plan service around it.
What food do you serve?
Fish and chips, of course, plus sausage or pie and chips. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
Do we need to provide anything?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Mention any power or water available and we will confirm the rest.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.

Gravy
In the north and the Midlands, gravy is the side of choice, and it’s lovely with a pie.
