Prices and what affects them
The same numbers can mean different prices, depending on:
- The date and time of year
- The number of meals
- Your choice of menu
- Parking and the way in
Most vans have a minimum charge, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. We’ll tell you up front.
What to tell us
For a quote, it helps to have:
- Where you’d like the van to go
- The address or venue name
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
- Allergies and diets you know about
Most quotes start with a few simple details: date, address, numbers and serving time. You can fill in our quote form.
How our film set catering works in Whitchurch
Shoot days are long, and a hot lunch on time matters. We park at the unit base and cook to order. Whether it is outside broadcasts and photo shoots, we can cook haddock and chips, mushy peas and cod and chips and more.
Rural locations near Whitchurch can be a long way from food, so lunch at base matters. Everything is fried fresh at your shoot, not cooked earlier and kept warm, and served the moment it comes out of the fryer.

A chip van compared with other options
Ordering takeaway to a location is unreliable. The van cooks on site. Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is often good value, as there’s no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. Ask us for a quote.

The process
We get there well before service, park the van and get the fryers going. Your crew can wander over to the hatch once service starts. In December, daylight in Whitchurch ends around 3:55pm, so the unit base needs lighting for late service. Summer shoots have daylight until about 9:25pm.
- We start with the location, call times and crew 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 pack up straight after service and leave the base tidy.
How to prepare
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain

About the food
Pie and chips
Pie and chips is hearty and filling, and it is especially welcome on a cold day.
Curry sauce

What the van needs
The van has to be able to get in and park safely, and a little planning goes a long way. These are the things we check:
- Level, firm ground at base
- A lit spot for dark mornings or evenings
- A route in the van can manage, with no low branches or tight lanes
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

FAQs for Whitchurch
Do you come out to small places like Whitchurch?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Which station is closest to Whitchurch?
The closest is Aylesbury Vale Parkway station, roughly 3.5 miles away.
Can the van come to Whitchurch?

What food do you serve?
Chip-shop favourites: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we will plan service around it.
Can you feed supporting artists too?
Of course. Just tell us who counts.
Do we need to provide anything?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Mention any power or water available and we will confirm the rest.
Can you cook in the rain?
The weather doesn’t 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.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
