About our film set catering in Hunny Hill
The van needs level, firm ground at the unit base, and a clear route in. We serve haddock and chips, sausage and chips and cod and chips, and we’re regularly asked to cater location shoots and unit base lunches.
For a location shoot near Hunny Hill, base might be in a field or farmyard, so ground conditions matter. We cook inside the van, right where your crew are, so the batter is still crisp when it’s handed over.

About the food
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it’s what most people in the south ask for. We batter it and fry it to order, so it is crisp when it reaches you.
Haddock and chips
Haddock has loyal fans: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Tell us if you’d like to offer it.
Shooting in Hunny Hill: unit bases and access
Hunny Hill is about 1 mile north of Newport, in the Isle of Wight. Bookings in Hunny Hill come in all shapes and sizes, but the plan is always the same: somewhere to park, a time to serve and fresh frying. Hunny Hill is one of 125 towns and villages in the Isle of Wight where we bring the van. Our nearest city page is Southampton, about 15 miles away.
Historic houses near Hunny Hill include Carisbrooke Castle (1.3 miles south-west) and Gatcombe House (2.9 miles south). Period locations like these typically keep vehicles well away from the house, so agree the base early. With the sea within about 4 miles, coastal shoots need a sheltered base.
We take the van to shoots all over the PO30, PO31 and PO41 postcode area and the streets around it. We can serve a shoot on streets such as Foxes Road, Chain Lane and Wilver Road, as long as there is somewhere for the van. Being close to the A3020 and A3054, Hunny Hill is simple for us to get to. Nearby, we also serve shoots in Parkhurst (1 mile north), Forest Side (1 mile west), Noke Common (1 mile north), Northwood (3 miles north) and Porchfield (3 miles west). Larger places within reach include Ryde (6 miles east), Cowes (4 miles north), Sandown (7 miles south-east), Shanklin (7 miles south-east), Ventnor (9 miles south-east) and East Cowes (3 miles north). As one of the bigger places in the Isle of Wight, Hunny Hill has lots of places where the van can park. Remote sites take a little more planning, so contact us in good time.
Well-known places in the area include Carisbrooke Castle (1.3 miles south-west) and Isle of Wight Music Museum (within half a mile south-east). The countryside around Hunny Hill includes Mill Hill and Briddlesford Nature Reserve.

Planning for dietary needs
Allergies are taken seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Give us a map or what3words for base
- Send final numbers the day before
- Name a contact in the production office
- Send allergies to us in writing
Lunch is planned around the call sheet, and a contact keeps us updated.
A dining area at base helps.
How it works
We get there well before service, park the van and get the fryers going. Crew normally gather round the hatch as soon as we open. In December, daylight in Hunny Hill ends around 4:00pm, so a late lunch or wrap at base needs lighting. In summer, light lasts until about 9:20pm.
- Get in touch with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- A photo of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for the crew.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Preparing for the day
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time

FAQs for Hunny Hill
Can you serve near the sea around Hunny Hill?
Yes. Wind does not affect the fryers, but plan a sheltered spot for the queue.
Can the van park in Seaclose Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Can you adjust to schedule changes?
We can. Give us a contact for changes, and we will adjust where possible.
When do you arrive?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. We’ll agree arrival and serving times with you so food is ready when you want it.
What food do you serve?
Chip-shop favourites: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.
What do we need to supply?
Tell us what’s available at the site in your enquiry, and we will confirm what we need.
Can you feed supporting artists too?
Of course. Let us know total numbers.
What if the weather’s bad?
We carry on in the rain, because the cooking happens inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
For planners, venues and organisers
Parks, greens and streets usually need permission for a catering van. Ask the council or landowner early.
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan service to match. Sending people up in groups helps.
Prices and what affects them
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, because of:
- Parking and the way in
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- The day of the week
- The number of meals
Distance and any road charges make a difference, so it helps to give us the postcode.
What we need to know
When you contact us, it helps to tell us:
- A picture of the space and the way in
- The venue or postcode
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- Dietary needs, with numbers
Not sure of numbers yet? No problem: give us a rough idea and the date, and we’ll firm it up nearer the time. To start, send us your details through our quote form.
Space, access and the venue
The right spot keeps everyone safe and the service smooth. We look for:
- Lighting for early or late service
- Permission for the van at base
- A level, firm spot at the unit base
Hunny Hill is a more remote spot, so tell us early and we’ll plan the journey.
Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly before you book.
