Common questions in Wheeler End
Which station is closest to Wheeler End?
Saunderton station, about 3.2 miles north of the centre.
Is Wheeler End too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
What happens if it rains?
We cook inside the van, so rain doesn’t stop us. It is worth planning some cover for the queue.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Tell us about coeliac crew when you enquire, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible.
How long will the queue be?
A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. We will talk it through when we quote.
Do you cater wrap parties?
Yes. It is a great way to end a shoot.
How do you handle allergies?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Tell us about allergies in advance.
Can you park at the unit base?
Yes, on level ground at base; we will check the route.
About our film set catering in Wheeler End
We need a level, firm spot at base, and a clear route in. On the menu are cod and chips, mushy peas and haddock and chips, and typical bookings are for live events and broadcasts and unit base lunches.
For a shoot in a place like Wheeler End, tracks and soft ground need checking with locations. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your shoot, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.

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 will confirm what we can provide.
For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can plan ahead.

Food your guests will love
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. It’s the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.
Sausage and chips
For anyone who doesn’t fancy fish, there is sausage and chips, and children love it.
