Diets, allergies and planning
Allergies are taken seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Arrange something for anyone with needs we cannot meet
- Flag any coeliac crew
- Ensure we can reach locations on the day
- Update numbers if they change
We arrive at base in good time and set up, out of the way.
Tables or a marquee at base make lunch comfortable.
How our film set catering works in Battramsley
The van needs level, firm ground at the unit base, and a route the van can manage. For wrap celebrations and location shoots, we can cook mushy peas, haddock and chips and cod and chips.
Near Battramsley, crews may be miles from anywhere to eat, so a van at base is a big help. The menu is short on purpose: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.

Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
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.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Battramsley questions
Do you come to venues in the New Forest National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We’ll follow the site rules.
Can you serve near the sea around Battramsley?
Yes, of course. The cooking is inside the van, so wind does not affect it, but the queue will want shelter.
What does the van need?
Less than you might think: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, that the van can reach easily. Send us a picture if you’re not sure.
What does it cost to hire the van?
We quote for each booking, based on your numbers and timings. Give us your date, numbers and serving time for a clear quote.
Do you do anything other than fish?
We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Tell us about other diets and we’ll tell you what we can offer.
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.
Can the van park on grass?
Generally, if it is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
When do you arrive?
We get there in good time to set up. Timings are agreed in advance so food is ready when you want it.
What the van needs
The van has to be able to get in and park safely, so a few things need checking. These are the things we check:
- Clear of the shot and sound
- A lit spot for dark mornings or evenings
- The location’s agreement
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.
From the hatch
- Haddock and chips
- Crew lunches
- Cod and chips
- Mushy peas
- Sausage and chips
- Pie and chips

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.
How it works
The van turns up at the agreed time, parks where we agreed and the hatch goes up. Once the oil is hot, the first portions go out at the time you asked for. At midsummer, Battramsley has light until about 9:25pm, while by late September it’s nearer 7:10pm.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive in good time to set up.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.
Before we arrive
- Name one person we can call on the day
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Get permission for the van from the venue
