A chip van near Brockenhurst
Brockenhurst: your questions answered
Can the van go to venues in the New Forest National Park?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We will follow the site rules.
Which station is closest to Brockenhurst?
Brockenhurst station, in Brockenhurst itself.
Is there a non-fish option?
We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Tell us about other diets and we will tell you what we can offer.
Can you serve children?
Children are very welcome. Tell us how many children, and we’ll include them in the plan.
Can you cater for allergies?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Tell us about allergies in advance.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Not as standard: batter is generally made with wheat flour. Tell us about any coeliac crew and we’ll explain the options before booking.
What does the van need?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, near your crew, and space for a queue. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
Can the van park on grass?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and we’ll advise.
Film set catering for your shoot in Brockenhurst
We work with your location manager or production office on access, parking and timings. Whether it’s fashion shoots on location and wrap celebrations, we can cook sausage and chips, cod and chips and haddock and chips.
Shoots around Brockenhurst often use houses, farms and lanes. Tell us about the route to base. We keep the menu short: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.
How the day works
From set-up to the last portion, we look after the food, so you can get on with your shoot in Brockenhurst. In December, daylight in Brockenhurst ends around 4:00pm, so a late lunch or wrap at base needs lighting. In summer, light lasts until about 9:25pm.
- We start with a few details about your shoot.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
- We cook to order on the day for the crew.

Allergies and dietary needs
Most events have a few crew with dietary needs. To look after them:
- Agree the waste plan with locations
- Send the unit base address and directions
- Confirm allergies by email
- Tell us about coeliac crew specifically
We set up at the unit base ahead of lunch.
A quick pre-order speeds things up.
A closer look at the menu
Haddock and chips
Haddock has loyal fans: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.
Curry sauce
Some people will not eat chips without curry sauce and it is on the menu.
A fish and chip van or other catering?
Ordering takeaway to a location is unreliable. A van cooks at the unit base. Most vans have a minimum charge, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. Ask us what applies to your shoot.
What you get with us
- Fried fresh, not kept warm
- A quote that spells everything out
- Classic food your crew already know
- Quick service from the hatch

For planners, venues and organisers
For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can hold the date.
Organising a club, school or community event in Brockenhurst? A fish and chip van draws people in and almost everyone likes it. Give us the details and we’ll suggest how it could work.
Before you choose a spot
We will agree the van’s spot with you before the day. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- A level, firm spot at the unit base
- Room for the crew to queue
- Far enough from set to keep noise down
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Popular choices
- Mushy peas
- Sausage and chips
- Haddock and chips
- Crew lunches
- Cod and chips
- Pie and chips
Should I sort the food myself?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your crew instead.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
