About our film set catering in Burley Street
On a long job, a chip van day is a morale boost, alongside regular catering. Whether it’s end-of-shoot parties and crew treats on long shoot days, we’ll put together a menu of mushy peas, haddock and chips and cod and chips.
Near Burley Street, crews may be miles from anywhere to eat, so lunch at base matters. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.
Prices and what affects them
Fish and chip van pricing is simple once we know the basics:
- Whether a minimum applies
- Distance and any road charges
- How long we serve
- The date and time of year
Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is frequently good value, as there is no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. We will send you a quote.
What to tell us
When you contact us, it helps to tell us:
- Where the van would park
- Dietary needs, with numbers
- Where the event is
- A picture of where the van would go
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many people, plus when you’d like to eat, and you’ll get a clear price. Just use our quote form.
Diets, allergies and planning
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. Our advice:
- Send the unit base address and directions
- Tell us about coeliac crew specifically
- Have a back-up for special diets
- Send final numbers the day before
We set up at the unit base ahead of lunch, out of the way.
Cover near the hatch helps on wet days.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the shoot.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it is fried on the spot.

- Clear of the shot and sound
- Lighting for early or late service
- Agreement from the location manager and landowner
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.

Also in Burley Street
What comes out of the fryer
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are made from dried marrowfat peas, soaked and cooked until soft. They’re the side most people expect.
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips covers anyone who doesn’t want fish, and children love it.
The process
The van turns up at the agreed time, parks where we agreed and the hatch goes up. Once the oil is hot, the first portions go out right on schedule. In December, daylight in Burley Street ends around 4:05pm, so a late lunch or wrap at base needs lighting. In summer, light lasts until about 9:25pm.
- It starts with the unit base, dates and numbers.
- You get an access check and a quote.
- We agree the van’s position and arrival with the location manager.
- We cook to order through the crew’s lunch break.
- We clear up and get out of the way.
How to prepare
- Keep space clear for crew at the hatch
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Make sure the van can get in
How to get a price
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: where the van would park, how to get in, numbers and timings. A photo of the spot helps too. To send your details, send us your details through our quote form.

Your questions about a fish and chip van for the crew in Burley Street
Do you come out to small places like Burley Street?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
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’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Is grass a problem?
Usually, if it’s firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
Do you take everything away?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Let us know about bins for crew.
Can you park on the road outside?
Only where it’s legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Ask your council early.
What can crew choose from?
Fish and chips, of course, plus sausage or pie and chips. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
Can the van come to base?
Yes, on level ground at base; we’ll check the route.
