About our film set catering in Windlesham
Seaside and period locations suit a fish and chip van perfectly. On the menu are cod and chips, mushy peas and haddock and chips, and typical bookings are for crew morale days and location shoots.
Near Windlesham, base may be a field or yard. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.
What happens on the day
We get there well before service, park the van and get the fryers going. Crew normally gather round the hatch as soon as we open. On a winter shoot near Windlesham, the light goes by about 3:55pm, so a late lunch or wrap at base needs lighting. In summer, light lasts until about 9:20pm.
- First, tell us about your shoot.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for the crew.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.
Before we arrive
- Clear the route for the van
- Plan where the queue will stand
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
Ask for a quote
Every quote is worked out for your event. Give us your date first, and we’ll confirm whether we are available that day.

Windlesham questions

Roughly 26 miles from the centre of London.

Tell us about allergies when you book, and we’ll tell you what’s in each item.
What paperwork do you provide?
Send us your supplier requirements.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
Can the van come to our wrap?
Yes, it is a popular wrap. Tell us the details.
What about crew who don’t eat fish?
We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Tell us about other diets and we’ll tell you what we can offer.

Yes, always. Everything is fried fresh in the van, then handed over hot from the hatch.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We’re happy to send a quote so you can compare.

Organising for someone else?
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll work through them with you.
What affects the price in Windlesham
Fish and chip van pricing is simple once we know the basics:
- The minimum booking
- Service time
- Cod, haddock or both
- Numbers
Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. Ask us what applies to your shoot.

A closer look at the menu
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips is the go-to for anyone who isn’t a fish fan, especially with curry sauce.
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it is what most people in the south ask for. We batter it and fry it to order.
Looking after everyone
Most events have a few crew with dietary needs. To look after them:
- Arrange something for anyone with needs we can’t meet
- Add an allergy question to crew forms
- Agree how the base is left
- Tell us about coeliac crew specifically
We clear up quickly after lunch.
A gazebo by the van keeps the line dry.
