Fresh fish and chips in Easton
How our film set catering works in Easton
A chip van is a popular crew treat on a long shoot, alongside regular catering. Whether it is commercials and music videos and seaside shoots, we will put together a menu of haddock and chips, mushy peas and pie and chips.
Near Easton, crews may be miles from anywhere to eat, so a van at base is a big help. We cook inside the van, right where your crew are, so the batter is still crisp when it is handed over.
Shooting in Easton: unit bases and access
Easton is about 3 miles north-east of Winchester, in Hampshire. Easton is well within our area, so all we need is your date, a parking spot and a time to serve. Easton is one of 683 towns and villages in Hampshire we cover. We serve events right across the region, from Easton to Southampton (13 miles away).
Easton is about 58 miles from central London.
Shoots anywhere in SO21 start with a parking spot for the van and roughly how many crew. Local streets include Easton Lane, Malthouse Close and Chapel Lane; a shoot on any of them works well with a drive or nearby car park. If your venue is just outside Easton, we also cover Abbots Worthy (1 mile north-west), Martyr Worthy (1 mile north-east), Kings Worthy (1 mile west), Itchen Abbas (2 miles east) and Winnall (2 miles south-west). Further out, we also take the van to Basingstoke (14 miles north-east), Winchester (3 miles south-west), Eastleigh (9 miles south), Andover (13 miles north-west), Totton (15 miles south-west) and Chandler's Ford (9 miles south-west).
A little further out are Wolvesey Castle (2.4 miles south-west) and St John's Rooms And Chapel (2.3 miles south-west). Green spaces nearby include Twyford Down and Winnall Moors.
- Local pubs include The Cricketers Inn (within half a mile north-east)

Why book with us
- Served hot, straight from the hatch
- Classic food your crew already know
- Fish and chips fried fresh on site
- Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy on the side

What a fish and chip van costs
There is nothing hidden: the quote reflects:
- Cod, haddock or both
- The minimum booking
- The day of the week
- The number of meals
Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so it helps to give us the postcode.
What to tell us
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- Allergies and diets you know about
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- The venue or postcode
- Where the van would park
We quote for each event separately, based on your numbers, timings and travel. For a quote, send us your details through our quote form.
What happens on the day
If the plan changes on the day, a quick word is all it takes: we will adjust start times and pace to suit your shoot. Winter shoots near Easton chase the light, which goes at about 4:00pm in December, so lunch at base is frequently in daylight but a wrap meal is not.
- First, tell us about your shoot.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for the crew.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.
Preparing for the day
- Keep space clear for crew at the hatch
- Have a level parking spot ready
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
