About our film set catering in Farnborough
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, sausage and chips and haddock and chips, and we’re often booked for unit base lunches and commercials and music videos.
London locations around Farnborough can have tight access, so send us the route and restrictions. Everything is fried fresh at your shoot, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet, and handed over as soon as it is ready.

The process
Here’s how the day usually runs: we arrive, park up and set up, the oil comes up to temperature, and we serve hot from the hatch when you’re ready to eat. In December, daylight in Farnborough ends around 3:55pm, so the unit base needs lighting for late service. In summer, light lasts until about 9:20pm.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check the route in and send a price.
- We arrive in good time to set up.
- Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.
Getting ready for the day
- Ensure the van can get in
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Have a level parking spot ready
