A chip van near Tilford Reeds
Film set catering for your shoot in Tilford Reeds
Locations and the production office can deal with us directly. For seaside shoots and location shoots, we can cook sausage and chips, mushy peas and cod and chips and more.
Rural locations near Tilford Reeds can be a long way from food, so lunch at base matters. We cook inside the van, right where your crew are, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.
Should I sort the food myself?
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.
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. Ask us for a quote and compare.

Is Tilford Reeds too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.

Do you take everything away?
