Film set catering for your shoot in Haslemere
We work with your location manager or production office on access, parking and timings. On the menu are pie and chips, haddock and chips and cod and chips, and we’re regularly asked to cater stills shoots and wrap parties.
Shoots around Haslemere frequently use houses, farms and lanes. Let us know about access. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your shoot, so the batter is still crisp when it is handed over.

What affects the price in Haslemere
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, because of:
- Service time
- Distance and any road charges
- The number of meals
- Whether a minimum applies
Larger groups usually cost less per head, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we will quote.
Getting an accurate quote
Good planning starts with a few facts. Try to include:
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- The address or venue name
- The date and time of the event
- Allergies and diets you know about
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.
About the food
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 it is a favourite with children.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your crew instead.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the shoot.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
