Film set catering in Westcott, cooked to order
On a long job, a chip van day is a morale boost. Typical bookings include fashion shoots on location and seaside and period locations, serving haddock and chips, mushy peas and sausage and chips.
Near Westcott, crews may be miles from anywhere to eat, so lunch at base matters. Everything is fried fresh at your shoot, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet, and served the moment it comes out of the fryer.

Planners, venues and businesses
Organising a club, school or community event in Westcott? 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.
Venues frequently have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will work through them with you.
Before you choose a spot
A good parking spot makes the whole thing easier. We look for:
- Permission for the van at base
- A lit spot for dark mornings or evenings
- Away from the shooting area’s sound
Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we serve
- Haddock and chips
- Mushy peas

Diets, allergies and planning
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. We suggest:
- Update numbers if they change
- Put allergy details in writing
- Arrange something for anyone with needs we can’t meet
- Add an allergy question to crew forms
After service, we pack up and get out of the way.
Cover near the hatch helps on wet days.

Westcott questions
What’s the nearest station to Westcott?
Aylesbury Vale Parkway station, about 4.2 miles east of the centre.
Is Westcott too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
How fast is service?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we will plan service around it.
How much does a fish and chip van for the crew cost in Westcott?
Every booking is quoted individually, so the price fits what you need. Give us your date, numbers and serving time for a clear quote.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
Often, if the ground is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes, always. We fry to order in the van at your venue, then handed over hot from the hatch.
Where do you take the van?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
Is the fish gluten-free?
No, not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Tell us about any coeliac crew and we will explain the options before you book.

Takeaway run or book a van?
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. We’re happy to send a quote so you can compare.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the shoot.
