Film set catering for your shoot in Gosport
A van can get a crew fed quickly within the lunch break, with no kitchen needed on site. We serve sausage and chips, haddock and chips and cod and chips, and we’re frequently booked for photo shoots and lunch at the unit base.
Near Gosport, crews may be miles from anywhere to eat, so lunch at base matters. We keep the menu short: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is generally simpler.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Step by step
We take care of the food from arrival to the last chip, so you can get on with your shoot in Gosport. Winter shoots near Gosport chase the light, which goes at about 4:00pm in December, so lunch at base is frequently in daylight but a wrap meal is not.

All the cooking happens in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site.

Level, firm ground the van can reach, close to where people will eat, with room for a queue at the hatch. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
What areas do you cover?
London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and send a picture if you can.
Can you cook in the rain?
Rain doesn’t stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. Crew will appreciate cover near the hatch.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet

Why us?
