Film set catering for Bramshaw events
How our film set catering works in Bramshaw
Location shoots, commercials and wrap parties all suit a chip van. We’re frequently asked to cater location filming and commercials and music videos, with pie and chips, haddock and chips and sausage and chips.
Near Bramshaw, check tracks and ground for the van with locations. We serve from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and service is quick once we are up and running.
About the food
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are made from dried marrowfat peas, soaked and cooked until soft. They’re the classic side with fish and chips.
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it’s the favourite in much of the south. It is battered and fried to order.

Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- How easy the site is to reach
- The menu and how many choices
- The length of service
- The day of the week
Larger groups normally cost less per head, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we will quote.

Do you come to venues in the New Forest National Park?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We’ll follow the site rules.

Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
When do you arrive?
We get there in good time to set up. We’ll agree arrival and serving times with you.

Frequently, if the ground is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.

Do you have documents for productions?
Send us your supplier requirements.
Do you have allergen information?
Tell us about allergies when you book, and we will give you the allergen information and what we can offer.
Can you adjust to schedule changes?
Yes. Tell us the lunch time and a contact on the day, and we will adjust where possible.
