Warfield questions
Do you come out to small places like Warfield?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Is Warfield close to London?
About 28 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Do you clear up afterwards?
The pitch is left as we found it. Bins for crew are worth planning.
How much space do you need?
Less than you might think: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, that the van can reach easily. Send us a photo if you’re not sure.
How much does a fish and chip van for the crew cost in Warfield?
Every booking is quoted individually, so the price fits what you need. Tell us your date and rough numbers and we will reply with a price.
What if the weather’s bad?
The weather doesn’t stop the van, because the fryers are inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
What’s on the menu?
Fish and chips, of course, plus sausage or pie and chips. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
How fast is service?
Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. Tell us your timings and we will advise.
Film set catering for your shoot in Warfield
We cater location shoots, unit bases, commercials, music videos and wrap parties. For crew lunches at base and location shoots, we can cook mushy peas, pie and chips and haddock and chips for your guests.
For a shoot in a place like Warfield, tracks and soft ground need checking with locations. We cook inside the van, right where your crew are, so the batter is still crisp when it’s handed over.

The process
We need time before service to bring the fryers up to heat, so we’re there in good time before you want to eat. On a winter shoot near Warfield, the light goes by about 3:55pm, so a late lunch or wrap at base needs lighting. In summer, light lasts until about 9:25pm.
- Get in touch with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for the crew.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Preparing for the day
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
Ask for a quote
Most quotes start with a few simple details: the date, where the van would park, roughly how many people and when you’d like to eat. You can send us your details through our quote form.

Is a fish and chip van right for your shoot?
Compared with sandwiches on set, a chip van gives the crew a proper hot meal. The cost per head normally falls as numbers rise, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we will quote.
Why us?
- A quote that spells everything out
- Quick service from the hatch
- Fried fresh, not kept warm
- Rain does not stop the fryers

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your crew instead.
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.
What comes out of the fryer
Mushy peas
Proper mushy peas start with dried marrowfat peas. They’re the side most people expect.
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it is the favourite in much of the south. We batter it and fry it to order.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
