How our film set catering works in Wytham
Seaside and period locations suit a fish and chip van perfectly. Typical bookings include photo shoots and treat days on a long shoot, with haddock and chips, pie and chips and sausage and chips.
For a shoot in a place like Wytham, tracks and soft ground need checking with locations. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your shoot, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.

Your questions about a fish and chip van for the crew in Wytham
Do you come out to small places like Wytham?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Which station is closest to Wytham?
The closest is Oxford Parkway station, roughly 2.4 miles away.
Can you feed supporting artists too?
Yes. Just tell us who counts.
Can you serve children?
Children are very welcome. Tell us how many children, and we will include them in the plan.
Do you have allergen information?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Send us any allergies in writing.
Can the van park on the street?
That depends on local parking rules. Off-road parking is typically simpler; for the street, check the council’s rules.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes. The fryers are in the van, so food is cooked there and then, rather than made in advance.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Let us know about coeliac crew in advance, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible.
DIY versus a fish and chip 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.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
