Film set catering in Wootton, fried fresh
A chip van fits right in at seaside locations. Popular choices include cod and chips, sausage and chips and pie and chips, and we are regularly asked to cater seaside shoots and fashion shoots on location.
Near Wootton, crews may be miles from anywhere to eat, so a van at base is a big help. We keep the menu short: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.

- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.

Radley station, about 3.4 miles south-east of the centre.
Is Wootton close to London?
Roughly 54 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Can you park on the road outside?
That depends on local parking rules. Off-road parking is usually simpler; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
How fast is service?
Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. Tell us your timings and we will advise.

Proper fish and chips, with sausages and pies for anyone who does not want fish. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.
How much is fish and chip van hire?
It depends on numbers, the menu, how long we serve and travel. Tell us about your shoot and we will send a quote.
Who clears up?
We clear the van’s area after service. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.
What if lunch moves?
We expect changes. Keep us updated and we will adapt.
Is a fish and chip van right for your shoot?
A full location catering unit suits long shoots with three meals a day. A van is great for short jobs and crew treats. The cost per head usually falls as numbers rise, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.

If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

Should I sort the food myself?
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.
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 generally the easier option.
