Fresh fish and chips in Wendover
How our film set catering works in Wendover
We need a level, firm spot at base, and a clear route in. For ad shoots and unit base lunches, we can cook mushy peas, cod and chips and haddock and chips.
For a location shoot near Wendover, base might be in a field or farmyard, so ground conditions matter. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer before booking.

Should I sort the food myself?
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Organising for someone else?
Venues frequently 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 work through them with you.
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Sending people up in groups helps.
The process
Service is quick: food goes from the fryer to the hatch, and people can eat where they like. When service is finished, we pack up and leave the pitch tidy. Long summer days in Wendover, with light until about 9:25pm, suit evening wraps outdoors.
- Tell us what you’re planning and when you’d like to eat.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
