Film set catering in Woodrow, cooked to order
Seaside and period locations suit a fish and chip van perfectly. We are frequently asked to cater wrap parties and outside broadcasts, serving haddock and chips, mushy peas and sausage and chips.
Near Woodrow, crews may be miles from anywhere to eat, so lunch at base matters. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, not cooked earlier and kept warm, and handed over as soon as it’s ready.

A fish and chip van or other catering?
Takeaway rarely reaches a location hot. A van cooks at the unit base. Larger groups usually cost less per head, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
What you get with us
- Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy on the side
- Rain doesn’t stop the fryers
- No kitchen needed
- Classic food your crew already know

Food your guests will love
Curry sauce
The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, great with chips and sausages.
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are made from dried marrowfat peas, soaked and cooked until soft. They’re the classic side with fish and chips.
Planning a shoot in Woodrow
Woodrow is about 2 miles south-west of Amersham, in Buckinghamshire. People in Woodrow book us for all sorts of reasons, but it always starts the same way: somewhere to park, a time to serve and fresh frying. We cover all 263 towns and villages across Buckinghamshire, from the larger towns to small villages. Our bookings stretch from Woodrow to Reading (about 20 miles away).
Crew coming by rail can use the station: the closest railway station is Amersham station, roughly 2.1 miles north-east of the centre. Nearby historic houses include Hughenden Manor (4.6 miles west). Historic houses are popular locations, and most set strict rules for vehicles, so plan the unit base with locations. The Chilterns National Landscape is within about 4 miles of Woodrow, and locations in protected landscapes frequently have rules about vehicles.
Shoots anywhere in HP7 start with a parking spot for the van. We also bring the van to shoots in Penn Street (1 mile west), Mop End (1 mile north-west), Winchmore Hill (1 mile south), Coleshill (1 mile south-east) and Beamond End (1 mile west). Further out, we also take the van to Aylesbury (13 miles north-west), High Wycombe (5 miles south-west), Chesham (4 miles north-east), Marlow (8 miles south-west), Beaconsfield (3 miles south) and Chalfont St Peter (5 miles south-east).
A little further out are Amersham Fair Organ Museum (2.7 miles north-east) and Amersham Hospital (1.3 miles east). Green spaces nearby include Gomm's Wood.
- Nearby schools include Amersham Hall (1.5 miles east) and Holmer Green Senior School (2.1 miles west)
- Local pubs include Queen's Head Public House (0.6 miles south-east)
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is usually simpler.
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 solves that by cooking on site.

Your questions about a fish and chip van for the crew in Woodrow
Is Woodrow too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
What’s the nearest station to Woodrow?
Amersham station, about 2.1 miles north-east of the centre.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. Bins for crew are worth planning.
Can you park at the unit base?
Generally, if there is level, firm ground. We will agree the spot with your location manager.
Do you have documents for productions?
Send us your supplier requirements.
Can the van come to Woodrow?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, including Woodrow. To check your date, send us your details through our quote form.
What do we need to supply?
Let us know about power and water at the site when you enquire, and we will say what we need.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Let us know about coeliac crew in advance, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer.
Where the van can park in Woodrow
We’ll be honest if a spot will not work, and suggest an alternative. What matters most:
- A hardstanding spot at the unit base
- Far enough from set to keep noise down
- Space in front of the hatch
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
From the hatch
- Mushy peas
- Crew lunches
- Haddock and chips
- Sausage and chips
- Cod and chips
- Pie and chips
Step by step
Nothing is cooked before it is needed. Fish is battered and fried when people come up to the hatch, which is why it tastes like it does at the seaside. Light in Woodrow lasts until about 9:25pm at midsummer; for dawn calls or late wraps, plan lighting at base.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check the route in and send a price.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.
How to prepare
