Fresh fish and chips in Boorley Green
Step by step
Serving is straightforward: food goes from the fryer to the hatch. Afterwards we pack up. Sunset in Boorley Green is about 8:55pm in late May, 9:25pm at midsummer and 7:10pm in late September; for dawn calls or late wraps, plan lighting at base.
- Tell us what you are planning and when you’d like to eat.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks, and how it gets in.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
How to prepare
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Get permission for the van from the venue
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue

How our film set catering works in Boorley Green
We need a level, firm spot at base, and a clear route in. We serve mushy peas, pie and chips and cod and chips, and typical bookings are for crew treats on long shoot days and end-of-shoot parties.
Near Boorley Green, base may be a field or yard. Food is served straight from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and the queue keeps moving.
Planning the van’s spot
We will be honest if a spot won’t work. The main points are:
- Permission for the van at base
- A hardstanding spot at the unit base
- A queue area clear of trucks

Planning a shoot in Boorley Green
Boorley Green is about 1 mile north-east of Hedge End, in Hampshire. For a shoot in Boorley Green, we can park on a drive, a car park, a yard or firm, dry grass. Boorley Green is one of 683 places in Hampshire we cover.
Nearby historic houses include South Stoneham House (4.3 miles west). Period locations like these normally keep vehicles well away from the house, so agree the base early. Central London is about 65 miles from Boorley Green, within easy reach for London-based crews. The coast is within about 6 miles of Boorley Green, and coastal unit bases can be exposed, so plan where crew will queue.
We cover shoots in every part of SO32 and the streets around it. We can serve a shoot on streets such as Braxells Road, Bushy Dene Road and Harper Road, as long as there’s somewhere for the van. If your venue is just outside Boorley Green, we also cover Durley (1 mile north-east), Botley (1 mile south), Horton Heath (2 miles north-west), Curdridge (2 miles east) and Fair Oak (2 miles north). Within a short drive, we also cover Winchester (9 miles north), Gosport (10 miles south-east), Havant (14 miles east), Eastleigh (4 miles north-west), Fareham (7 miles south-east) and Horndean (12 miles east).

Boorley Green: your questions answered
What about events near the coast?
Yes, of course. The cooking is inside the van, so wind does not affect it, but the queue will want shelter.
What’s the nearest station to Boorley Green?
The closest is Hedge End station, roughly 0.7 miles away.
What will the production need?
Tell us what the production needs and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
How long does set-up take?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. Timings are agreed in advance so food is ready when you want it.
Can the van come to base?
Yes, wherever locations agree.
What if the weather’s bad?
We cook inside the van, so rain does not stop us. It is worth planning some cover for the queue.
Can you adjust to schedule changes?
Schedules move, and we plan for it. A contact on the day is all we need.
Do you do wrap parties?
Yes, it’s a popular wrap. Send us the date and place.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Many locations are miles from shops. A van brings lunch to base. 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 Boorley Green hosts choose us
- Rain doesn’t stop the fryers
- Something for crew to gather round
- A menu almost everyone likes
- All the chip-shop extras
Take a look at our pricing or the cost guide.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
- 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
