About our film set catering in Vernham Street
Schedules move, so a contact on the day helps and we will work around it. On the menu are haddock and chips, pie and chips and mushy peas, and we’re regularly asked to cater location shoots and treat days on a long shoot.
Rural locations near Vernham Street can be a long way from food, so lunch at base matters. The menu is short on purpose: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.

What else we do in Vernham Street
Planning for dietary needs
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Try these:
- Confirm allergies by email
- Agree the waste plan with locations
- Collect diets and allergies with crew details
- Send final numbers the day before
A short menu keeps the line moving in a lunch break.
End the shoot with a chip van wrap.
Should I sort the food myself?
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.

Vernham Street: your questions answered
Is Vernham Street close to London?
About 62 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Is Vernham Street 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.
Is there something for children?
Yes. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Include children in your numbers.
How long does set-up take?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
What paperwork do you provide?
Every production asks for different things, so ask your production office for the list.
What if we only have street parking?
Only where it’s legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Ask your council early.
Can you park at the unit base?
Yes, on level ground at base.
Who clears up?
We clear the van’s area after service. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.
How we price a fish and chip van for the crew
These are the factors that matter most:
- Whether a minimum applies
- The day of the week
- Parking and the way in
- Cod, haddock or both
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. Your quote spells it all out.
What to tell us
Here’s what makes a quick, accurate quote possible:
- The address or venue name
- The spot you have in mind for the van
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
- Expected numbers
We quote for each event separately, so the price fits what you actually need. For a quote, send us your details through our quote form.
What happens on the day
There’s very little for you to do on the day: show us the spot, tell us when to start, and enjoy your shoot. The frying and serving are down to us. Long summer days in Vernham Street, with light until about 9:25pm, suit evening wraps outdoors, while by late September it is nearer 7:10pm.
- First, tell us about your shoot.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for the crew.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.
Before we arrive
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Ensure the van can get in
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
Ask for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: where the van would park, how to get in, numbers and timings. A photo of the spot helps too. When you are ready, send us your details through our quote form.

About the food
Curry sauce
The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, perfect with chips or a sausage.
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it is the favourite in much of the south. It’s battered and fried to order.

- Space in front of the hatch
- Light near the van if needed
