The menu, dish by dish
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it is what most people in the south ask for. We batter it and fry it to order, so it is crisp when it reaches you.
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips is the go-to for anyone who is not a fish fan.
About our film set catering in Fawley Bottom
Fried-to-order service suits a lunch break, without needing a kitchen on location. Popular choices include cod and chips, pie and chips and haddock and chips, and typical bookings are for treat days on a long shoot and seaside shoots.
For a shoot in a place like Fawley Bottom, tracks and soft ground need checking. We serve from the hatch, so it is hot and generous, and the queue keeps moving.

Fawley Bottom: your questions answered
Do you come out to small places like Fawley Bottom?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Do you come to venues in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We’ll follow the site rules.
Can you serve children?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Let us know numbers, and we’ll include them in the plan.
What do you bring?
Everything is cooked in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site and we’ll confirm what we need.
What if we only have street parking?
Only where it’s legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Ask your council early.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Tell us about coeliac crew when you enquire, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible.
Who clears up?
The pitch is left as we found it. Bins for crew are worth planning.
Do you need power or water?
Let us know about power and water at the site when you enquire, and we will confirm what we need.
Planning for dietary needs
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Here’s how:
- Give us a contact for call-time changes
- Give us a map or what3words for base
- Plan bins and waste at base
- Flag any coeliac crew
We work to the lunch time on the call sheet, with a contact for changes.
A quick pre-order speeds things up.
How it works
On the day, we park up on the agreed spot, set up and heat the fryers. Then everything is fried to order, so we time it to your schedule. Long summer days in Fawley Bottom, with light until about 9:25pm, suit evening wraps outdoors.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance, and how it gets in.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Before we arrive
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Have a level parking spot ready
- Plan where the queue will stand

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We’re happy to send a quote so you can compare.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
