Fresh fish and chips in Hazeley
Film set catering in Hazeley, fried fresh
On a long job, a chip van day is a morale boost, alongside regular catering. Popular choices include pie and chips, mushy peas and sausage and chips, and typical bookings are for photo shoots and commercials and music videos.
Rural locations near Hazeley can be a long way from food, so a van at base is a big help. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer.

Planning for dietary needs
A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Here’s how:
- Have a back-up for special diets
- Send the unit base address and directions
- Let us know about coeliac disease
- Collect diets and allergies with crew details
Supporting artists and visitors can be included in numbers.
A quick pre-order speeds things up.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is generally the easier option.

The process
The van turns up at the agreed time, pulls onto the spot you’ve chosen and the hatch goes up. Once the oil is hot, the first portions go out right on schedule. At midsummer, Hazeley has light until about 9:25pm, while by late September it is nearer 7:05pm.
- We start with a few details about your shoot.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for the crew.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.
Getting ready for the day
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
