How our film set catering works in Walton Manor
On a long shoot day, a good hot lunch keeps morale up. We park at the unit base and cook to order. We’re frequently asked to cater music video shoots and stills shoots, with sausage and chips, pie and chips and haddock and chips.
Shoots around Walton Manor frequently use houses, farms and lanes. Tell us about the route to base. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your shoot, so the batter is still crisp when it’s handed over.

- The number of meals
- Service time
- The day of the week
- Parking and the way in
Cost depends on numbers, menu and service time, along with distance and access to the site. Every booking gets its own quote.

Your questions about a fish and chip van for the crew in Walton Manor
What’s the nearest station to Walton Manor?
Oxford station, about 0.7 miles south of the centre.
How far is Walton Manor from London?
Roughly 53 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
What will the production need?
Tell us what the production needs and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Give us your numbers and service window, and we’ll plan to keep the queue moving.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes, always. Everything is fried fresh in the van, and serve straight from the hatch.
Do numbers include extras?
Yes. Let us know total numbers.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
Frequently, if the ground is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
Do you have allergen information?
Let us know about allergies in advance, and we’ll tell you what’s in each item and what we can offer.
Planning for dietary needs
We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible. To get it right:
- Let us know about coeliac disease
- Share the base location and route
- Collect diets and allergies with crew details
- Ensure we can reach locations on the day
We arrive at base in good time and set up, out of the way.
A chip van wrap party is a great way to finish a shoot.
What happens on the day
We work to your timings. If the day runs behind, we simply start frying a little later, so nothing is cooked before it’s needed. In December, daylight in Walton Manor ends around 3:55pm, so a late lunch or wrap at base needs lighting. In summer, light lasts until about 9:25pm.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check the route in and send a price.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.
Before we arrive
- Get permission for the van from the venue
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Plan where the queue will stand
