About our film set catering in Wigginton
The van needs level, firm ground at the unit base, and a route the van can manage. We serve cod and chips, sausage and chips and mushy peas, and we are often booked for stills shoots and crew treats on long shoot days.
Near Wigginton, check tracks and ground for the van with locations. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we’ll be straight with you about what we can do.

Diets, allergies and planning
A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Here’s how:
- Update numbers if they change
- Add an allergy question to crew forms
- Share the base location and route
- Agree how the base is left
We take our used oil and waste with us.
A chip van wrap party is a great way to finish a shoot.

What a fish and chip van costs
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Parking and the way in
- Numbers
- Any minimum charge
- Distance and any road charges
When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: hours, menu, travel, minimum charge and VAT. We set ours out clearly.
What we need to know
You do not need everything decided to ask for a quote, but these help:
- The spot you have in mind for the van
- Anything awkward about the way in
- Roughly how many people, including children
- A picture of the space and the way in
To get a price, use our quote form. Give us the details of your shoot, and we will check the date and send a price.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your crew instead.
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Is a fish and chip van right for your shoot?
Takeaway rarely reaches a location hot. A van cooks at the unit base. There’s no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. Your quote spells it all out.
What you get with us
- No kitchen needed
- Fish and chips fried fresh on site
- The classic sides: peas, curry sauce and gravy
- Served hot, straight from the hatch
Read our prices page and the cost guide.
