Film set catering for your shoot in Foulford
We work with your location manager or production office on access, parking and timings. We’re frequently asked to cater ad shoots and treat days on a long shoot, with sausage and chips, cod and chips and haddock and chips.
Near Foulford, crews may be miles from anywhere to eat, so a van at base is a big help. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we’ll be straight with you about what we can do.
Planning the van’s spot
If a spot is not suitable, we will tell you, and help find another. The main points are:
- A hardstanding spot at the unit base
- Space in front of the hatch
- Lighting for early or late service
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.
From the hatch

Working with your venue
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan service to match. Staggering groups helps a lot.
If you’re booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we’ll talk you through the process. We are happy to liaise with facilities on parking and timings.
How the day works
The smell of the fryers does the inviting. Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, with chips cooked in batches as the queue moves. In December, daylight in Foulford ends around 4:05pm, so the unit base needs lighting for late service. In summer, light lasts until about 9:25pm.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive in good time to set up.
- Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
- We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we are done.
Preparing for the day
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
- Make sure the van can get in

Questions from Foulford
Do you come out to small places like Foulford?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Do you come to venues in the New Forest National Park?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
How much is fish and chip van hire?
We quote for each booking, so the price fits what you need. Give us your date, numbers and serving time for a clear quote.
Do you bring everything you need?
Everything is cooked in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site and we will confirm what we need.
What if the weather’s bad?
We cook inside the van, so rain doesn’t stop us. It is worth planning some cover for the queue.
Is grass a problem?
Usually, if it’s firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
Can the van come to Foulford?
We do. We serve events in Foulford and across Hampshire. Send us your date to check availability.
Does the batter contain gluten?
No, not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Let us know and we will tell you what we can do before you book.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
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.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Ordering takeaway to a location is unreliable. The van cooks on site. Got a budget? Let us know, and we will suggest a menu and timing to match. Keeping the menu short is generally the best value.
