About our film set catering in Adgestone
Seaside and period locations suit a fish and chip van perfectly. For end-of-shoot parties and commercials and music videos, we’ll put together a menu of pie and chips, cod and chips and mushy peas for your guests.
For a shoot in a place like Adgestone, tracks and soft ground need checking with locations. Food is served straight from the hatch, so it’s hot and generous, and the queue keeps moving.

Step by step
There is very little for you to do on the day: show us the spot, tell us when to start, and enjoy your shoot. We handle the cooking and serving. Sunset in Adgestone is about 8:55pm in late May, 9:20pm at midsummer and 7:10pm in late September; for early or late service, base needs lighting.
- Tell us what you are planning and when you’d like to eat.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
Preparing for the day
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Have a level parking spot ready
- Name one person we can call on the day

Adgestone for film and TV crews
Adgestone is about 4 miles south of Ryde, in the Isle of Wight. From the centre of Adgestone to the outskirts, the service works the same way: fresh frying, hot food from the hatch and a clear price. Adgestone is one of 125 places in the Isle of Wight where we bring the van. Our bookings stretch from Adgestone to Southampton (about 20 miles away).
Crew coming by rail can use the station: Sandown station is about 1.1 miles away. The coast is within about 2 miles of Adgestone, and coastal unit bases can be exposed, so plan where crew will queue.
Shoots anywhere in PO36 start with a parking spot for the van. Local streets include Upper Road, Lower Road and Lower Adgestone Road; a shoot on any of them works well with a drive or nearby car park. If your venue is just outside Adgestone, we also cover Morton (1 mile east), Yarbridge (1 mile east), Brading (1 mile north-east), Alverstone (1 mile south-west) and Sandown (1 mile south). Larger places within reach include Newport (6 miles west), Ryde (4 miles north), Cowes (9 miles north-west), Shanklin (3 miles south), Ventnor (6 miles south) and East Cowes (8 miles north-west). Some remote sites need extra planning, so contact us in good time.

What affects the price in Adgestone
Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- How many people are eating
- The menu and how many choices
- Parking and the way in
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
Most vans have a minimum charge, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. Ask us what applies to your shoot.
What to tell us
These details help us quote quickly:
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- A photo of the parking spot
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Expected numbers
We only need a few details to quote: date, address, numbers and serving time. To send them, fill in our quote form.
Planning the van’s spot
We’ll agree the van’s spot with you before the day. It needs to tick a few simple boxes:
- A clear route to base
- A lit spot for dark mornings or evenings
- Clear of the shot and sound
Adgestone is a more remote spot, so tell us early and we will plan the journey.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
Popular choices
- Crew lunches
- Haddock and chips
- Pie and chips
- Mushy peas
- Cod and chips
- Sausage and chips
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your crew instead.
Planners, venues and businesses
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan service to match. Staggering groups helps a lot.
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we will explain how it works. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
A fish and chip van or other catering?
For a crew lunch people will remember, a fish and chip van is a great choice in Adgestone. Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so it helps to give us the postcode.

The menu, dish by dish
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. It’s the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.
Pie and chips
A pie and chips is proper comfort food, and it’s a favourite in colder months.
