Film set catering for Bouldnor events
What comes out of the fryer
Gravy
A pot of gravy turns chips into comfort food, especially in winter.
Cod and chips
For many people, cod and chips is the definitive version. Cooked fresh at the hatch, it goes out hot and crisp.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
Looking after everyone
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Try these:
- Agree the waste plan with locations
- Send allergies to us in writing
- Flag any coeliac crew
- Confirm numbers the day before
Lunch is planned around the call sheet, with a contact for changes.
A dining area at base helps.
Why choose a fish and chip van in Bouldnor?
Ordering takeaway to a location is unreliable. A van cooks at the unit base. If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we will suggest how to make it work. Keeping the menu short is typically the best value.
Why Bouldnor hosts choose us
- Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy on the side
- Classic food your crew already know
- Nothing for you to cook or clear
- Works on wet days as well as sunny ones
Questions from Bouldnor
Do you come out to small places like Bouldnor?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
What’s the nearest station to Bouldnor?
Lymington Pier station, about 4.2 miles north-west of the centre.
Do you cover Bouldnor?
We do. Bouldnor is one of the places we cover. Send us your date to check availability.
Which areas do you serve?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
Frequently, if the ground is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Children are very welcome. Tell us how many children, and we’ll plan for them.
Do we need to provide anything?
Tell us what’s available at the site when you enquire, and we’ll say what we need.
Can the van come to our wrap?
Yes, it is a popular wrap. Tell us the details.
How it works
Because we cook inside the van, rain doesn’t stop us. Crew will still appreciate a bit of cover near the hatch. In December, daylight in Bouldnor ends around 4:05pm, so the unit base needs lighting for late service. Summer shoots have daylight until about 9:20pm.
- Tell us what you’re 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.
Preparing for the day
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue

Planning help
Space, access and the venue
Before the day, we will agree where the van parks. It needs to tick a few simple boxes:
- Away from the shooting area’s sound
- A lit spot for dark mornings or evenings
- A hardstanding spot at the unit base
Bouldnor is a more remote spot, so tell us early and we will plan the journey.
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
What we serve
- Haddock and chips
- Pie and chips
- Mushy peas
- Sausage and chips
- Cod and chips
- Crew lunches
Prices and what affects them
Fish and chip van pricing is simple once we know the basics:
- The day of the week
- Distance and any road charges
- Parking and the way in
- How long we serve
Most vans have a minimum charge, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. We will tell you up front.
Details that help
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what’s useful:
- The address or venue name
- Roughly how many people, including children
- Where the van would park
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
