Film set catering for your shoot in Broxhill
We work with your location manager or production office on access, parking and timings. We’re frequently asked to cater wrap celebrations and seaside and period locations, with mushy peas, pie and chips and cod and chips.
Rural locations near Broxhill can be a long way from food, so lunch at base matters. Your quote spells out what’s included: serving times, the menu and anything else agreed, with no surprises on the day.
Planning for dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Confirm allergies by email

Tell us if supporting artists are eating.
Bins at base keep the location clean.

FAQs for Broxhill
Is Broxhill too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Is the fish gluten-free?
No, not as standard: batter is generally made with wheat flour. Let us know and we will tell you what we can do before booking.
How long does set-up take?
We get there in good time to set up. Timings are agreed in advance.
What if we only have street parking?
It depends on the road. Off-road parking is typically simpler; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
What does it cost to hire the van?
Every booking is quoted individually, so the price fits what you need. Tell us your date and rough numbers and we will reply with a price.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we’ll plan service around it.
Do you cater wrap parties?
We do. It is a great way to end a shoot.
What can crew choose from?
The classics: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is usually simpler.
Planning the van’s spot
A fish and chip van is a vehicle, so the spot matters, so a few things need checking. Here’s what we look for:
- Away from the shooting area’s sound
- Level, firm ground at base
- A lit spot for dark mornings or evenings
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.
