Film set catering in Horseport, fried fresh
Call times change, so a contact on the day helps and we will work around it. We serve mushy peas, sausage and chips and haddock and chips, and we’re often booked for crew lunches at base and wrap parties.
Rural locations near Horseport can be a long way from food, so a van at base is a big help. We bring the van and everything we need to cook, and we leave the pitch tidy when we go.
The menu, dish by dish
Sausage and chips
For anyone who doesn’t fancy fish, there’s sausage and chips, and it’s a favourite with children.
Pie and chips
For a heartier option, there is pie and chips, perfect with gravy.
Common questions in Horseport
Can the van go to venues in the New Forest National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We’ll follow the site rules.
Is Horseport too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
What do you bring?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
Often, if the ground is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
Can you park at the unit base?
Yes, on level ground at base; we’ll check the route.
Can you work to the call sheet?
Yes. Give us a contact for changes, and we’ll adjust where possible.
How long does set-up take?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
Do you cater wrap parties?
Yes, and crews love it. Send us the date and place.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
