About the food
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it is what most people in the south ask for. It’s battered and fried to order, so it’s crisp when it reaches you.
Gravy
Gravy brings a bit of warmth to the meal.
Film set catering in Wolverton, cooked to order
Locations and the production office can deal with us directly. For ad shoots and period dramas on location, we can cook cod and chips, mushy peas and pie and chips.
For a shoot in a place like Wolverton, tracks and soft ground need checking. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet.

With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. We suggest:
- Give us a contact for call-time changes

We set up at the unit base ahead of lunch, out of the way.

Wolverton: your questions answered
How far is Wolverton from London?
Roughly 49 miles from the centre of London.
Is Wolverton too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Do you come to Wolverton?
Yes, we do. We serve events in Wolverton and across Hampshire. Send us your date to check availability.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Tell us about coeliac crew when you enquire, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible.
Where do you take the van?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Wolverton.
Is there something for children?
Children are very welcome. Tell us how many children, and we will include them in the plan.
When do you arrive?
We get there in good time to set up. We’ll agree arrival and serving times with you.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes, always. We fry to order in the van at your venue, then handed over hot from the hatch.
A chip van compared with other options
Ordering takeaway to a location is unreliable. A van cooks at the unit base. Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is frequently good value, as there is no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. Ask us for a quote.

Read our pricing and our guide to van hire costs.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. 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.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is generally simpler.
How we price a fish and chip van for the crew
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, depending on:
- How long we serve
- How many people are eating
- How easy the site is to reach
- The menu and how many choices
Got a budget? Let us know, and we’ll suggest a menu and timing to match. A short menu is frequently the best value.
What to tell us
Good planning starts with a few facts. Try to include:
- Dietary needs, with numbers
- Roughly how many people, including children
- Where the van would park
- Your date and serving time
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. To send them, fill in our quote form.
How the day works
We take care of the food from arrival to the last chip, so you can get on with your shoot. On a winter shoot near Wolverton, the light goes by about 4:00pm, so the unit base needs lighting for late service. In summer, light lasts until about 9:25pm.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks, and how it gets in.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
How to prepare
- Plan where the queue will stand
- Share the timings for the day
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
