End the shoot with a chip van wrap.
Film set catering for your shoot in Everton
We need a level, firm spot at base, and a clear route in. We are frequently asked to cater fashion shoots on location and unit base lunches, with pie and chips, haddock and chips and sausage and chips.
For a shoot in a place like Everton, tracks and soft ground need checking. You will know what’s included before you book: the date, the service time and the menu.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Compared with sandwiches on set, hot fish and chips is a real lunch. A chip van frequently compares well with a plated meal, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. Ask us for a quote.

Location catering around Everton
Everton is about 2 miles south-west of Lymington, in Hampshire. Everton is well within our area, so all we need is your date, a parking spot and a time to serve. Everton is one of 683 towns and villages in Hampshire we cover. You can also see our page for Southampton, about 15 miles away.
Everton is within about 5 miles of the New Forest National Park, and locations in protected landscapes often have rules about vehicles. With the sea within about 3 miles, coastal shoots need a sheltered base, so plan where crew will queue.

Local streets include Old Christchurch Road, Westfield Gardens and Laburnum Drive; a shoot on any of them works well with a drive or nearby car park. For shoots just outside Everton, we cover Lymore (1 mile south), Milford on Sea (1 mile south), Pennington (1 mile east), Lower Pennington (2 miles east) and Keyhaven (2 miles south-east).

Planners, venues and businesses
Many venues set rules for catering vans: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will work through them with you.
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can hold the date.
How it works
Your timings come first. If things run late, we hold off cooking until you’re ready, so nothing is cooked before it is needed. Winter shoots near Everton chase the light, which goes at about 4:05pm in December.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.
Getting ready for the day
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Clear the route for the van
- Get permission for the van from the venue
Getting a price
We quote for each event separately, so the price fits what you actually need. To ask for one, use our quote form.

Everton questions
What about events near the coast?
Yes. Wind doesn’t affect the fryers, but plan a sheltered spot for the queue.
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 will work to whatever the site needs.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes, always. Everything is fried fresh in the van, then handed over hot from the hatch.
Do you have allergen information?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Send us any allergies in writing.
What food do you serve?
The classics: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.
Do you need power or water?
Tell us what’s available at the site when you enquire, and we’ll confirm what we need.
What do you bring?
The van comes fully equipped to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. We’ll talk it through when we quote.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
