Film set catering in Wheatley
Step by step
There is very little for you to do on the day: show us the spot, tell us when to start, and enjoy your shoot. We handle the cooking and serving. Winter shoots near Wheatley chase the light, which goes at about 3:55pm in December, so lunch at base is frequently in daylight but a wrap meal is not.
- First, tell us about your shoot.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
- We cook to order on the day for the crew.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Have a level parking spot ready
Getting a price
Not sure of numbers yet? That is fine: give us a rough idea and the date, and we’ll quote on that. Start when you are ready: send us your details through our quote form.

Common questions in Wheatley
How far is Wheatley from London?
About 48 miles from central London, and well within our area.
What if the weather’s bad?
The weather does not stop the van, because the fryers are inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes, always. Everything is fried fresh in the van, then handed over hot from the hatch.
Do you do wrap parties?
Yes. A chip van suits a relaxed wrap party.
Is grass a problem?
It depends on the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and send a photo if you can.
How much does a fish and chip van for the crew cost in Wheatley?
Every booking is quoted individually, based on your numbers and timings. Give us your date, numbers and serving time and we will reply with a price.
Where do you take the van?
London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Wheatley.
Can you cater for allergies?
Let us know about allergies in advance, and we’ll give you the allergen information.

Looking after everyone
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. We suggest:
- Agree the waste plan with locations
- Put allergy details in writing
- Give us a contact for call-time changes
- Ask for dietary needs on the crew info form
Tell us if supporting artists are eating.
A chip van wrap party is a great way to finish a shoot.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. We are happy to send a quote so you can compare.

If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
