Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
A wrap party at a venue costs more. A van keeps it relaxed and simple. There’s no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. Your quote spells it all out.
Why Buriton hosts choose us
- The queue at the hatch gets people talking
- A clear quote before you book
- Everything cooked to order at your event
- Cod, haddock, sausages and pies
Film set catering in Buriton, fried fresh
Shoot days are long, and a hot lunch on time matters. We park at the unit base and cook to order. Typical bookings include fashion shoots on location and location filming, serving mushy peas, cod and chips and sausage and chips.
Rural locations near Buriton can be a long way from food, so lunch at base matters. We cook inside the van, right where your crew are, so the batter is still crisp when it is handed over.
Working with your venue
For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can hold the date.

What affects the price in Buriton

- How easy the site is to reach
- The menu and how many choices
- The minimum booking

When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: service time, menu, travel, any minimum and VAT. Our quotes spell it all out.
What to tell us
To check availability and price, we need:
- Dietary needs, with numbers
- The date and time of the event
- The address or venue name
- Roughly how many people, including children
Getting a quote is simple: tell us the date, place, numbers and serving time. We’ll send a clear quote that says what’s included.
What comes out of the fryer
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it’s the favourite in much of the south. We batter it and fry it to order, so it’s crisp when it reaches you.
Sausage and chips
A sausage and chips is the chip-shop classic for younger crew and fish-dodgers, especially with curry sauce.
Takeaway run or book a van?
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
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. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
Your questions about a fish and chip van for the crew in Buriton
Do you come out to small places like Buriton?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Could you trade in Ditcham Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council. Check with them first.
Can you cater for allergies?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Send us any allergies in writing.
What paperwork do you provide?
Tell us what the production needs and we will confirm what we can provide.
Can the van park on the street?
That depends on local parking rules. A drive, car park or yard is generally easier; for the street, check the council’s rules.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes, always. Everything is fried fresh in the van, then handed over hot from the hatch.
What about crew who don’t eat fish?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Tell us about other diets and we’ll be honest about what’s possible.
Can you feed visitors on set?
Yes. Just tell us who counts.

How it works
Here’s how the day typically runs: the van arrives and we set up, the oil comes up to temperature, and food goes out hot at the agreed time. Long summer days in Buriton, with light until about 9:20pm, suit evening wraps outdoors.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check the route in and send a price.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.
Preparing for the day
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Name one person we can call on the day

Planning help
Before you choose a spot
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the spot and the way in when you contact us. Generally, we look for:
- The location’s agreement
- Light near the van if needed
- Level, firm ground at base
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
