Film set catering for your shoot in Hatchet Green
We cater location shoots, unit bases, commercials, music videos and wrap parties. Typical bookings include crew morale days and location shoots, serving mushy peas, haddock and chips and pie and chips.
Rural locations near Hatchet Green can be a long way from food, so a van at base is a big help. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your shoot, so the batter is still crisp when it’s handed over.
Space, access and the venue
If a spot is not suitable, we will tell you, and help find another. What matters most:
- Access checked by locations
- A lit spot for dark mornings or evenings
- Room for the crew to queue
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.
What we serve
- Cod and chips
- Mushy peas
- Crew lunches
- Pie and chips
- Sausage and chips
- Haddock and chips
For planners, venues and organisers
Planning an event for a club, school or charity in Hatchet Green? Fish and chips is a reliable crowd-pleaser. Tell us about the event and we will take it from there.
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we will talk you through the process. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
The process
We arrive on time, parks where we agreed. Once the oil is hot, the first portions go out right on schedule. In December, daylight in Hatchet Green ends around 4:00pm, so the unit base needs lighting for late service. Summer shoots have daylight until about 9:25pm.
- Tell us what you are planning and when you’d like to eat.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Before we arrive
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
How to get a price
Each quote is put together for your shoot. Start with your date, and we will confirm whether we are available that day.

Why choose a fish and chip van in Hatchet Green?
Compared with sandwiches on set, hot fish and chips is a real lunch. Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is frequently good value, as there is no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. We will send you a quote.

Hatchet Green: your questions answered
Do you come out to small places like Hatchet Green?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Not as standard: batter is normally made with wheat flour. Tell us about any coeliac crew and we’ll explain the options before booking.
Can you cook in the rain?
The weather doesn’t stop the van, because the cooking happens inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
Do you cover Hatchet Green?
Yes, we do. We serve events in Hatchet Green and across Hampshire. Tell us your date and we will check availability.
Can you cater for allergies?
Tell us about allergies when you book, and we will give you the allergen information.
Can the van park on the street?
It depends on the road. Off-road parking is typically simpler; for the street, check the council’s rules.
Where do you take the van?
We take the van across London and the South East, including Hampshire. See all areas.
What about crew who do not eat fish?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Tell us about other diets and we’ll tell you what we can offer.
