Film set catering in Catisfield, cooked to order
Shoot days are long, and a hot lunch on time matters. A fish and chip van parks at the unit base and fries to order. We serve cod and chips, pie and chips and mushy peas, and typical bookings are for commercials and music videos and outside broadcasts.
Shoots around Catisfield often use houses, farms and lanes. Let us know about access. We serve from the hatch, so it’s hot and generous, and service is quick once we are up and running.
Why choose a fish and chip van in Catisfield?
Long shoots usually need a full catering unit. A van is great for short jobs and crew treats. Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so it helps to give us the postcode.

Shooting in Catisfield: unit bases and access

Catisfield is one of 683 places in Hampshire we cover. Our nearest city page is Southampton, about 9 miles away.
For cast and crew travelling by train, Fareham station is about 1.3 miles away. With the sea within about 4 miles, coastal shoots need a sheltered base.

What affects the price in Catisfield
These are the factors that matter most:
- Service time
- Parking and the way in
- The menu and how many choices
- The date and time of year
There is 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.
Details that help
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what’s useful:
- Where you’d like the van to go
- The date and time of the event
- A photo of the parking spot
- Any dietary needs and allergies
Every booking is quoted individually, so the price fits what you actually need. For a quote, send us your details through our quote form.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
Planners, venues and businesses
Venues frequently have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
Organising a club, school or community event in Catisfield? Fish and chips is a reliable crowd-pleaser. Give us the details and we’ll suggest how it could work.
Before you choose a spot

- Access checked by locations
- Far enough from set to keep noise down
- Lighting for early or late service
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.

Common questions in Catisfield
Is Catisfield close to London?
About 66 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Which station is closest to Catisfield?
The closest is Fareham station, roughly 1.3 miles away.
How fast is service?
Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. We will talk it through when we quote.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Let us know about coeliac crew in advance, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible.
Can the van park on grass?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and send a picture if you can.
Do you take everything away?
We clear the van’s area after service. Let us know about bins for crew.
What does it cost to hire the van?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and travel. Tell us about your shoot and we will send a quote.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Tell us how many children, and we’ll plan for them.
What comes out of the fryer
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it is the favourite in much of the south. We batter it and fry it to order.
Curry sauce
The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, great with chips and sausages.
How it works
Your timings come first. If things run late, we simply start frying a little later, so the food is still fresh when it is served. In December, daylight in Catisfield ends around 4:00pm, so a late lunch or wrap at base needs lighting. Summer shoots have daylight until about 9:20pm.
- It starts with the unit base, dates and numbers.
- We check the route and the unit base and send a price.
- We agree the van’s position and arrival with the location manager.
- We cook to order through the crew’s lunch break.
- Afterwards we pack up and leave the unit base clean.
Before we arrive
- Let us know the serving time
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
