Common questions in Wraysbury

Film set catering in Wraysbury, fried fresh
Everything is cooked as crew come up, so lunch is hot and fresh. For wrap celebrations and photo shoots, we will put together a menu of sausage and chips, pie and chips and mushy peas for your guests.
Shoots around Wraysbury often use houses, farms and lanes. Let us know about access. Your quote spells out what’s included: serving times, the menu and anything else agreed.
A closer look at the menu
Sausage and chips
A sausage and chips is the chip-shop classic for younger crew and fish-dodgers.
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.
The process
Your timings come first. If things run late, we simply start frying a little later, so the food is still fresh when it’s served. Sunset in Wraysbury is about 8:55pm in late May, 9:25pm at midsummer and 7:05pm in late September; for dawn calls or late wraps, plan lighting at base.
- Get in touch with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- A photo of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying 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

Prices and what affects them
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, depending on:
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- The length of service
- Access and parking
- Whether a minimum applies
The cost per head usually falls as numbers rise, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.
What we need to know
To speed things up, tell us:
- A picture of the space and the way in
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- The venue or postcode
- Expected numbers
Every quote is worked out for your event. Give us your date first, and we’ll check availability right away.
Diets, allergies and planning
We take allergies seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Flag any coeliac crew
- Send allergies to us in writing
- Ensure we can reach locations on the day
- Plan bins and waste at base
Tell us if supporting artists are eating.
A chip van wrap party is a great way to finish a shoot.
Takeaway run or book a van?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the shoot.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
