Film set catering for Windsor events
How our film set catering works in Windsor
The van needs level, firm ground at the unit base, and a route the van can manage. Popular choices include pie and chips, sausage and chips and cod and chips, and we’re regularly asked to cater outside broadcasts and treat days on a long shoot.
In a town like Windsor, unit bases are often in car parks, school grounds or yards. A chip van fits right in. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer before you book.

Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is usually the easier option.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your crew instead.

What else we do in Windsor
The process
Nothing is cooked before it’s needed. Fish is battered and fried when people come up to the hatch, so it’s as fresh as from any chip shop. Long summer days in Windsor, with light until about 9:25pm, suit evening wraps outdoors.
- Get in touch with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- Show us where the van would go, and we’ll confirm it works.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for the crew.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
How to prepare
- Get permission for the van from the venue
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day

FAQs for Windsor
How far is Windsor from London?
Roughly 23 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Which station is closest to Windsor?
Windsor & Eton Central station, about 1 mile north-east of the centre.
Is there something for children?
Children are very welcome. Let us know numbers, and we will include them in the plan.
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.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
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.
Where can the van park?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, near your crew, and space for a queue. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.

Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Check with your council first.
When do you arrive?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. Timings are agreed in advance.

Prices and what affects them
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Numbers
- The date and time of year
- The minimum booking
- The menu and how many choices
Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. Your quote spells it all out.

These details help us quote quickly:
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
- Where you’d like the van to go

The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: where the van would park, how to get in, numbers and timings. A photo of the spot helps too. To send your details, send us your details through our quote form.
The menu, dish by dish
Gravy
In the north and the Midlands, gravy is the side of choice, and it goes perfectly with a pie.
Sausage and chips
A sausage and chips is the chip-shop classic for younger crew and fish-dodgers.
Before you choose a spot
We’ll agree the van’s spot with you before the day. It needs to tick a few simple boxes:
- Far enough from set to keep noise down
- Space in front of the hatch
