Fresh fish and chips in Fawley
Film set catering for your shoot in Fawley
On a long shoot day, a good hot lunch keeps morale up. A fish and chip van parks at the unit base and fries to order. Typical bookings include stills shoots and shoots on location, serving mushy peas, pie and chips and cod and chips.
For a shoot in a place like Fawley, tracks and soft ground need checking. We cook inside the van, right where your crew are, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.

Organising for someone else?
Organising a club, school or community event in Fawley? A fish and chip van draws people in and almost everyone likes it. Give us the details and we’ll suggest how it could work.
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can hold the date.
Looking after everyone
Most events have a few crew with dietary needs. To look after them:
- Confirm numbers the day before
- Ensure we can reach locations on the day
- Add an allergy question to crew forms
- Put allergy details in writing
Supporting artists and visitors can be included in numbers.
Plan bins at the unit base.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the shoot.
Before you choose a spot
The van has to be able to get in and park safely, so a few things need checking. These are the things we check:
- Away from the shooting area’s sound
- Access checked by locations
- A queue area clear of trucks
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

Food your guests will love
Gravy
In the north and the Midlands, gravy is the side of choice, and it is lovely with a pie.
Haddock and chips
Some people swear by haddock: a firmer flake and a sweeter taste. Tell us if you’d like to offer it.
A fish and chip van or other catering?
Compared with sandwiches on set, a chip van gives the crew a proper hot meal. Distance and any road charges make a difference, so it helps to give us the postcode.
Why book with us
- Nothing for you to cook or clear
- No surprises in your quote

Fawley: your questions answered
Do you come out to small places like Fawley?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can the van park in Fawley Court and Temple Island?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Can the van park on grass?
It depends on the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and send a picture if you can.
Where do you take the van?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Fawley.
Can you park on the road outside?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Ask your council early.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Tell us about coeliac crew when you enquire, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible.
How fast is service?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we’ll plan service around it.
What do we need to supply?
Let us know about power and water at the site in your enquiry, and we’ll say what we need.
