Crew catering near Boundstone
Boundstone is about 2 miles south-west of Farnham, in Surrey. People in Boundstone book us for all sorts of reasons, but the plan is always the same: somewhere to park, a time to serve and fresh frying.

Crew coming by rail can use the station: Farnham station, about 1.7 miles north-east, is the nearest station. Nearby historic houses include Farnham Castle (2 miles north).

Takeaway run or book a van?
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your crew instead.
What affects the price in Boundstone
Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:
- The date and time of year
- Numbers
- Service time
- Access and parking
Cost depends on numbers, menu and service time, along with distance and access to the site. Every booking gets its own quote.
Details that help
You do not need everything decided to ask for a quote, but it helps to know:
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
- The spot you have in mind for the van
- A picture of the space and the way in
- The date and when you’d like to eat
Send us the date, the address or GU10 postcode and rough numbers, along with your serving time, and we will reply with a quote. To get started, send us your details through our quote form.
Organising for someone else?
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can hold the date.
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan service to match. Sending people up in groups helps.
A fish and chip van or other catering?
A full location catering unit suits long shoots with three meals a day. A van is great for short jobs and crew treats. The cost per head typically falls as numbers rise, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we will quote.
Why Boundstone hosts choose us
- A van that becomes part of the event
- Hot food handed straight over
- All the chip-shop extras
- A clear quote before you book
Planning for dietary needs
A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Try these:
- Put allergy details in writing
- Ensure we can reach locations on the day
- Let us know about coeliac disease
- Send final numbers the day before
We clear up quickly after lunch.
Tables or a marquee at base make lunch comfortable.
Space, access and the venue
No two venues are the same, so we will ask about yours when you get in touch. Generally, we look for:
- Away from the shooting area’s sound
- A level, firm spot at the unit base
- A queue area clear of trucks
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
What we serve
- Mushy peas
- Cod and chips
- Crew lunches
- Pie and chips
- Sausage and chips
- Haddock and chips

What else we do in Boundstone
Food your guests will love
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.
Curry sauce
Chip-shop curry sauce is a mild, slightly sweet British classic, perfect with chips or a sausage.
How it works
Because we cook inside the van, rain doesn’t stop us. It’s worth thinking about cover for the queue, though. Daylight is short on winter shoots near Boundstone: sunset is about 4:00pm.
- Get in touch with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
- 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.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Preparing for the day
- Share the timings for the day
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
- Ensure the van can get in

Questions from Boundstone
Could you trade in Underdown nature reserve?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
What’s the nearest station to Boundstone?
Farnham station, about 1.7 miles north-east of the centre.
Can you cook in the rain?
We carry on in the rain, because the cooking happens inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
What about crew who do not eat fish?
Yes: sausages and pies, with chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.
Can you park at the unit base?
Yes, on level ground at base; we will check the route.
Do we need to provide anything?
Tell us what’s available at the site when you enquire, and we will confirm what we need.
Where do you take the van?
London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Boundstone.
Can you work to the call sheet?
We expect changes. A contact on the day is all we need.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
