Film set catering for your shoot in Wexham Street
Location shoots, commercials and wrap parties all suit a chip van. Whether it’s commercials and music videos and period dramas on location, we’ll put together a menu of cod and chips, haddock and chips and sausage and chips.
For a shoot in a place like Wexham Street, tracks and soft ground need checking with locations. We serve from the hatch, so it’s hot and generous, and service is quick once we’re up and running.
What a fish and chip van costs
There are no hidden charges: the price is based on:
- The minimum booking
- Parking and the way in
- The number of meals
- Cod, haddock or both
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. We quote for each booking individually.

- Any dietary needs and allergies
- Where the van would park
- Expected numbers
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes

Step by step
Nothing is cooked before it’s needed. Each portion is battered and fried as it is ordered, so it is as fresh as from any chip shop. Daylight is short on winter shoots near Wexham Street: sunset is about 3:55pm, so lunch at base is often in daylight but a wrap meal is not.
- It starts with the unit base, dates and numbers.
- We check the route and the unit base and send a price.
- We agree the van’s position and arrival with the location manager.
- We set up at the unit base and fry to order for the lunch break.
- We clear up and get out of the way.
Getting ready for the day
