How our film set catering works in Heckfield
We need a level, firm spot at base, and a clear route in. Whether it’s music video shoots and crew lunches at base, we can cook haddock and chips, mushy peas and pie and chips and more.
For a shoot in a place like Heckfield, tracks and soft ground need checking with locations. Food is served straight from the hatch, so it is hot and generous, and the queue keeps moving.

Planning a shoot in Heckfield
Heckfield is about 6 miles west of Yateley, in Hampshire. Around Heckfield, we park wherever there is level, firm ground. Heckfield is one of 683 towns and villages in Hampshire we cover. We serve events right across the region, from Heckfield to Reading (about 7 miles away).
For cast and crew travelling by train, the nearest station is Mortimer station, about 3.9 miles north-west. Historic houses near Heckfield include Stratfield Saye House (1.7 miles west). If you’re shooting at a historic house, the van will need a base agreed with the property.
Shoots anywhere in RG27 start with a parking spot for the van and a serving time. Local streets include Church Lane and Chamberlains Meadow; a shoot on any of them works well with a drive or nearby car park. Close by, we cover shoots in Heckfield Heath (1 mile north), Hound Green (1 mile south), Bramshill (1 mile east), Hazeley (1 mile south-east) and Riseley (1 mile north).

Organising a club, school or community event in Heckfield? Fish and chips is a reliable crowd-pleaser. Tell us about the event and we’ll take it from there.
For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can hold the date.
What the van needs
The right spot keeps everyone safe and the service smooth. We look for:
- The location’s agreement
- Light near the van if needed
- A clear route to base
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
From the hatch
- Sausage and chips
- Mushy peas
- Pie and chips
- Crew lunches
- Haddock and chips
- Cod and chips
Should I sort the food myself?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the shoot.

Your questions about a fish and chip van for the crew in Heckfield
Can the van park in Wellington Country Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council. Ask them first.
Is Heckfield too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can you cater for allergies?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Send us any allergies in writing.
When do you arrive?
We get there in good time to set up. Timings are agreed in advance.
What’s on the menu?
Chip-shop favourites: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Let us know about coeliac crew in advance, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Yes. Children normally love sausage and chips. Tell us how many are coming.
Can the van park on grass?
It depends on the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and send a photo if you can.
The process
We need time before service to bring the fryers up to heat, so we’re there in good time before you want to eat. Long summer days in Heckfield, with light until about 9:25pm, suit evening wraps outdoors.
- It starts with the unit base, dates and numbers.
- We check the route and the unit base and send a price.
- We agree the van’s position and arrival with the location manager.
- We serve hot from the hatch when lunch is called.
- Afterwards we pack up and leave the unit base clean.
How to prepare
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
- Ensure the van can get in
