About our film set catering in Winslow
Food is fried to order, so it’s hot when the break is called. For music video shoots and period dramas on location, we’ll put together a menu of sausage and chips, mushy peas and pie and chips.
Near Winslow, base may be a field or yard, so ground conditions matter. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we’ll be straight with you about what we can do before you book.

Winslow questions
Is Winslow close to London?
Roughly 46 miles from the centre of London.
Is there a non-fish option?
Yes: sausages and pies, with chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.
Where can the van park?
Less than you might think: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, with a clear way in. Send us a photo if you are not sure.
What can crew choose from?
Proper fish and chips, plus sausage or pie and chips. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
Can the van come to our wrap?
Yes, and crews love it. Send us the date and place.
Do you have allergen information?
Tell us about allergies when you book, and we will give you the allergen information.
Can you cook in the rain?
We carry on in the rain, because the fryers are inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
What paperwork do you provide?
Every production asks for different things, so send us the list.
What happens on the day
Service is quick: food goes from the fryer to the hatch, and people can eat where they like. Afterwards we pack up. Winter shoots near Winslow chase the light, which goes at about 3:55pm in December, so lunch at base is often in daylight but a wrap meal isn’t.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- Show us where the van would go, and we will 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.
Before we arrive
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
- Let us know the serving time
Ask for a quote
Most quotes start with a few simple details: the date, where the van would park, roughly how many people and when you’d like to eat. You can send us your details through our quote form.

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. We’re happy to send a quote so you can 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.

Diets, allergies and planning
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. Our advice:
- Plan an alternative for anyone we cannot cater for
- Share the base location and route
- Tell us about coeliac crew specifically
- Add an allergy question to crew forms
Lunch is planned around the call sheet, and a contact keeps us updated.
A quick pre-order speeds things up.
