Working with your venue

Film set catering in Yateley, cooked to order
Fried-to-order service suits a lunch break, without needing a kitchen on location. We are frequently asked to cater ad shoots and seaside and period locations, serving pie and chips, cod and chips and mushy peas.
For a shoot in Yateley, tell us where base is and how to reach it, and we’ll plan the route. We cook inside the van, right where your crew are, so the batter is still crisp when it is handed over.
A closer look at the menu
Curry sauce
Chip-shop curry sauce is a mild, slightly sweet British classic, great with chips and sausages.
Mushy peas
Proper mushy peas start with dried marrowfat peas. They’re the classic side with fish and chips.

What a fish and chip van costs
These are the factors that matter most:
- Whether a minimum applies
- The number of meals
- The date and time of year
- Travel, tolls and road charges
There’s no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. We set everything out in your quote.
What to tell us
To speed things up, tell us:
- Allergies and diets you know about
- A picture of the parking spot
- Expected numbers
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: where the van would park, how to get in, numbers and timings. Photos of the spot and the way in help. When you’re ready, fill in our quote form.
Why choose a fish and chip van in Yateley?
Wrap parties add up. A van keeps it relaxed and simple. Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. Ask us what applies to your shoot.
Why book with us
- We cook inside the van, whatever the weather
- Everything cooked to order at your event
- A van that becomes part of the event
- Quick service from the hatch

The process
We get there well before service, set up and bring the oil up to temperature. Your crew can wander over to the hatch once service starts. Sunset in Yateley 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.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for the crew.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Preparing for the day
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Keep space clear for crew at the hatch
Ask for a quote
