Fresh fish and chips in Brookgreen
Film set catering for your shoot in Brookgreen
Food is fried to order, so lunch is hot and fresh. On the menu are mushy peas, haddock and chips and cod and chips, and we’re regularly asked to cater photo shoots and commercials and music videos.
For a shoot in a place like Brookgreen, tracks and soft ground need checking with locations. The menu is short on purpose: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.

Allergies and dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Plan bins and waste at base
- Flag any coeliac crew
- Give us a contact for call-time changes
- Plan an alternative for anyone we cannot cater for
After service, we pack up and get out of the way.
End the shoot with a chip van wrap.
A fish and chip van or other catering?
Long shoots typically need a full catering unit. A chip van suits short shoots and treat days. If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we’ll suggest how to make it work. A short menu is often the best value.

Before you choose a spot
The right spot keeps everyone safe and the service smooth. We look for:
- A route in the van can manage, with no low branches or tight lanes
- A hardstanding spot at the unit base
- Far enough from set to keep noise down
For somewhere as remote as Brookgreen, early notice helps us plan the trip.
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

Crew catering near Brookgreen
Brookgreen is about 7 miles south-west of Newport, in the Isle of Wight. People in Brookgreen book us for all sorts of reasons, but the plan is always the same: a level spot for the van, a time to eat and food fried to order. We take the van to 125 places in the Isle of Wight, from the larger towns to small villages. You can also see our page for Southampton, about 19 miles away.
The coast is within about 5 miles of Brookgreen, and coastal unit bases can be exposed.
Shoots anywhere in PO30 start with a parking spot for the van and roughly how many crew. If your venue is just outside Brookgreen, we also cover Brook (1 mile north-west), Hulverstone (1 mile north-east), Dunsbury (1 mile north-west), Chilton Green (1 mile east) and Shalcombe (2 miles north). We also serve nearby towns such as Newport (7 miles north-east), Ryde (13 miles north-east), Cowes (10 miles north-east), Sandown (12 miles east), Shanklin (12 miles east) and Ventnor (11 miles east). For a shoot at a remote spot, let us know early and we will plan the trip.
Nearby you’ll also find Brighstone Village Museum (2.2 miles east) and Yarmouth Castle (4.8 miles north-west). Green spaces nearby include Westover Down.
The process
Your timings come first. If things run late, we simply start frying a little later, so nothing is cooked before it’s needed. Light in Brookgreen lasts until about 9:20pm at midsummer; for dawn calls or late wraps, plan lighting at base.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks, and how it gets in.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
How to prepare
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Get permission for the van from the venue
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue

Questions from Brookgreen
Do you come out to small places like Brookgreen?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
What about events near the coast?
Yes, of course. Wind doesn’t affect the fryers, but plan a sheltered spot for the queue.
Is grass a problem?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and send a photo if you can.
What food do you serve?
Chip-shop favourites: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
Do you have allergen information?
Tell us about allergies when you book, and we’ll tell you what’s in each item and what we can offer.
Is there something for children?
Of course. Children normally love sausage and chips. Include children in your numbers.
What does the van need?
Less than you might think: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, with a clear way in. Send us a photo if you are not sure.
Can you adjust to schedule changes?
We expect changes. Keep us updated and we will adapt.
Should I sort the food myself?
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
Food your guests will love
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it is the favourite in much of the south. We batter it and fry it to order.
Haddock and chips
Some people swear by haddock: a firmer flake and a sweeter taste. Tell us if you’d like to offer it.
- 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
