Film set catering in Wyke, fried fresh
Everything is cooked as crew come up, so lunch is hot and fresh. Whether it is period dramas on location and stills shoots, we’ll put together a menu of pie and chips, sausage and chips and mushy peas for your guests.
Near Wyke, crews may be miles from anywhere to eat, so lunch at base matters. We serve from the hatch, so it is hot and generous, and the queue keeps moving.
Organising for someone else?
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Staggering groups helps a lot.
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we’ll talk you through the process. We’re happy to liaise with facilities on parking and timings.

Common questions in Wyke
Do you come out to small places like Wyke?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
How far is Wyke from London?
Roughly 31 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Can you work to the call sheet?
Yes. Tell us the lunch time and a contact on the day, and we’ll adjust where possible.
What if we only have street parking?
It depends on the road. A drive, car park or yard is normally easier; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
Can the van come to our wrap?
Yes, and crews love it. Send us the date and place.
Is there something for children?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Tell us how many children, and we will plan for them.
What food do you serve?
Fish and chips, of course, with sausages and pies for anyone who doesn’t want fish. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. It helps to have bins near the hatch.

Planning a shoot in Wyke
Wyke is about 3 miles east of Aldershot, in Surrey. Tell us where your shoot in Wyke will be, and we’ll plan access and set-up before the day. Wyke is one of 395 places in Surrey where we bring the van.
Wyke is roughly 31 miles from central London, within easy reach for London-based crews. For crew arriving by train, Ash station is about 0.6 miles away.
For shoots in GU12 and GU3, we just need to know where the van can park. Streets in the area include Guildford Road, Wyke Lane and Wyke Avenue, and the van can serve a shoot on any of them with a suitable parking spot. Close by, we cover shoots in Normandy (1 mile east), Flexford (1 mile south-east), Christmas Pie (2 miles south-east), Willey Green (2 miles east) and Wanborough (2 miles south-east). We also serve nearby towns such as Guildford (5 miles east), Woking (7 miles north-east), Camberley (6 miles north), Farnham (5 miles south-west), Egham (14 miles north-east) and Walton-on-Thames (15 miles north-east).

- Local schools include Ash Manor School (1.6 miles south-west)
- Pubs nearby include The Dover Arms (0.5 miles west)
- Other local spots include Seale and Tongham (2.6 miles south-west)
The process
There’s very little for you to do on the day: show us the spot, tell us when to start, and enjoy your shoot. The frying and serving are down to us. Daylight is short on winter shoots near Wyke: sunset is about 3:55pm, so lunch at base is often in daylight but a wrap meal is not.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance, 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.
Preparing for the day
- Clear the route for the van
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Give us a contact for the day
Ask for a quote
Each quote is put together for your shoot. Start with your date, and we will confirm whether we are available that day.

Looking after everyone
Nearly every event has some special diets. To plan for them:
- Collect diets and allergies with crew details
- Ensure we can reach locations on the day
- Have a back-up for special diets
- Agree how the base is left
We work to the lunch time on the call sheet, with a contact for changes.
A chip van wrap party is a great way to finish a shoot.
What the van needs
We will agree the van’s spot with you before the day. It needs to tick a few simple boxes:
- A level, firm spot at the unit base
- Room for the crew to queue
- Permission for the van at base
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.
Popular choices
- Haddock and chips
- Cod and chips
- Sausage and chips
- Pie and chips
- Crew lunches
- Mushy peas
What a fish and chip van costs
Your quote will be clear. The main things that affect it are:
- Cod, haddock or both
- Numbers
- How far we travel
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. We will tell you up front.
What to tell us
When you contact us, it helps to tell us:
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Anything awkward about the way in
- Where the event is
- Where the van would park
Still finalising the details? That’s fine: tell us the basics about your shoot, and we’ll firm it up nearer the time. Start when you’re ready: fill in our quote form.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
