Foxcotte is one of 683 towns and villages in Hampshire where we bring the van. We serve events right across the region, from Foxcotte to Southampton (22 miles away).
Crew coming by rail can use the station: the closest railway station is Andover station, roughly 1.2 miles south-east of the centre.

How our film set catering works in Foxcotte
Schedules move, so a contact on the day helps and we’ll adjust where we can. Typical bookings include live events and broadcasts and location shoots, serving haddock and chips, cod and chips and mushy peas.
Near Foxcotte, check tracks and ground for the van. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Long shoots generally need a full catering unit. A van is great for short jobs and crew treats. When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: hours, menu, travel, minimum charge and VAT. We set ours out clearly.
Why book with us
- A clear quote before you book
- We cover Foxcotte and the whole of Hampshire
- Works on wet days as well as sunny ones
- Fried fresh, not kept warm

Questions from Foxcotte
Do you come out to small places like Foxcotte?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
What’s the nearest station to Foxcotte?
The closest is Andover station, roughly 1.2 miles away.
Can you adjust to schedule changes?
We expect changes. A contact on the day is all we need.
Where can the van park?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, near your crew, and space for a queue. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
How long will the queue be?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we will plan to keep the queue moving.
Do you cater wrap parties?
Yes. It’s a great way to end a shoot.
What if the weather’s bad?
We cook inside the van, so rain does not stop us. It is worth planning some cover for the queue.
Can the van park on the street?
That depends on local parking rules. A drive, car park or yard is generally easier; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
Food your guests will love
Pie and chips
Pie and chips gives people a filling alternative to fish.
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips covers anyone who does not want fish, and children love it.
How we price a fish and chip van for the crew
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- The minimum booking
- Parking and the way in
- How long we serve
If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we will suggest how to make it work. Keeping the menu short is generally the best value.
What we need to know
Here’s what makes a quick, accurate quote possible:
- Dietary needs, with numbers
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- The venue or postcode
- A picture of the parking spot
We quote for each event separately, so the price fits what you actually need. To ask for one, use our quote form.
Step by step
We need time before service to bring the fryers up to heat, so we are there in good time before you want to eat. Daylight is short on winter shoots near Foxcotte: sunset is about 4:00pm, so lunch at base is frequently in daylight but a wrap meal is not.
- Tell us what you’re planning and when you’d like to eat.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
Preparing for the day
- Ensure the van can get in
- Share the timings for the day
- Plan where the queue will stand
How to get a price
We only need a few details to quote: the date, where the van would park, roughly how many people and when you’d like to eat. You can fill in our quote form.

Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is normally the easier option.
