Turville questions
Can the van go to venues in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Do you come out to small places like Turville?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Is grass a problem?
It depends on the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and we will advise.
Who clears up?
The pitch is left as we found it. Bins for crew are worth planning.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Tell us about coeliac crew when you enquire, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer.
What areas do you cover?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
Can you cook in the rain?
We carry on in the rain, because the cooking happens inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
Do numbers include extras?
Yes. Let us know total numbers.

Planning the van’s spot
Before the day, we’ll agree where the van parks. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- Room for the crew to queue
- Light near the van if needed
- A level, firm spot at the unit base
Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly.
Popular choices

- Haddock and chips

- Crew lunches
- Pie and chips
The menu, dish by dish
Gravy
Gravy brings a bit of warmth to the meal, especially in winter.
Sausage and chips
A sausage and chips is the chip-shop classic for younger crew and fish-dodgers, especially with curry sauce.
Prices and what affects them
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Whether a minimum applies
- Cod, haddock or both
- The length of service
- How many people are eating
There’s no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. We set everything out in your quote.
Getting an accurate quote
For a quote, it helps to have:
- A picture of the parking spot
- Where the van would park
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
- The date and when you’d like to eat
Each quote is put together for your shoot. Give us your date first, and we’ll check availability straight away.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
For planners, venues and organisers
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
Planning an event for a club, school or charity in Turville? A fish and chip van draws people in and almost everyone likes it. Tell us about the event and we will take it from there.
Why choose film set catering in Turville?
It’s self-contained.
Whatever brings people together, fish and chips from the hatch goes down well. We’re often booked for:
- Lunch at the unit base
- Seaside shoots
- Wrap celebrations
- Shoots on location
Historic houses near Turville include Stonor Park (2 miles south-west) and Greenlands (3.6 miles south). Period locations like these generally keep vehicles well away from the house, so agree the base early.
What your quote should include
- How allergens are handled
- Whether VAT is included
- What happens if plans change
- Travel, tolls and road charges
Planning for dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Give us a contact for call-time changes
- Ask for dietary needs on the crew info form
- Agree how the base is left
- Let us know about coeliac disease
Supporting artists and visitors can be included in numbers.
Cover near the hatch helps on wet days.

Step by step
Service is quick: everything is handed over hot from the hatch, and people can eat where they like. Afterwards we pack up. In December, daylight in Turville ends around 3:55pm, so the unit base needs lighting for late service. In summer, light lasts until about 9:25pm.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance, and how it gets in.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
How to prepare
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Share the timings for the day
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
