Should I sort the food myself?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
Diets, allergies and planning
We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible. To make it work smoothly:
- Tell us about coeliac crew specifically
- Send the unit base address and directions
- Plan bins and waste at base
- Add an allergy question to crew forms
Tell us if supporting artists are eating.
A gazebo by the van keeps the line dry.

What else we do in Westcroft
A closer look at the menu
Sausage and chips
A sausage and chips is the chip-shop classic for younger crew and fish-dodgers, especially with curry sauce.
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it is what most people in the south ask for. It is battered and fried to order, so it is crisp when it reaches you.
Space, access and the venue
The right spot keeps everyone safe and the service smooth. We need:
- Level, firm ground at base
- Lighting for early or late service
- Space in front of the hatch
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.

Westcroft: your questions answered
How far is Westcroft from London?
Roughly 46 miles from the centre of London.
What’s the nearest station to Westcroft?
The closest is Milton Keynes Central station, roughly 2.4 miles away.
How fast is service?
A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. Tell us your timings and we’ll advise.
What if the weather’s bad?
The weather doesn’t stop the van, because the cooking happens inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Let us know about bins for crew.
What will the production need?
Productions vary, so send us the list.
Do we need to provide equipment?
The van comes fully equipped to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.
Can the van park on the street?
It depends on the road. A drive, car park or yard is normally easier; for the street, check the council’s rules.
The process
You will know we are ready when the smell of frying drifts over. From then on, people come up as they’re ready. At midsummer, Westcroft has light until about 9:25pm.
- We start with a few details about your shoot.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- We cook to order on the day for the crew.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.
Before we arrive
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Get permission for the van from the venue
How to get a price
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: where the van would park, how to get in, numbers and timings. A photo of the spot helps too. When you’re ready, send us your details through our quote form.
