A closer look at the menu
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are made from dried marrowfat peas, soaked and cooked until soft. They’re the classic side with fish and chips.
About our film set catering in Langley
On a long shoot day, a good hot lunch keeps morale up. A fish and chip van parks at the unit base and fries to order. For period dramas on location and event crews, we will put together a menu of haddock and chips, mushy peas and cod and chips and more.
Near Langley, check tracks and ground for the van with locations. You’ll know what’s included before booking: the date, the service time and the menu, with no surprises on the day.
Before you choose a spot
A fish and chip van is a vehicle, so the spot matters, so a few things need checking. These are the things we check:
- Away from the shooting area’s sound
- Level, firm ground at base
- Space in front of the hatch
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.

Common questions in Langley
Which station is closest to Langley?
Hamble station, about 4.7 miles north-east of the centre.
Do you come to venues in the New Forest National Park?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We will follow the site rules.
What do we need to supply?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Mention any power or water available and we’ll take it from there.
Do you cater wrap parties?
Yes. It’s a great way to end a shoot.
Do you clear up afterwards?
The pitch is left as we found it. Bins for crew are worth planning.
Where can the van park?
Not much: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, with a clear way in. Send us a picture if you’re not sure.
Do you have allergen information?
Let us know about allergies in advance, and we will tell you what’s in each item.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes, always. We fry to order in the van at your venue, then handed over hot from the hatch.
Step by step
On the day, we position the van, set up the hatch and get the fryers up to temperature. Then everything is fried to order, so we time it to your schedule. In December, daylight in Langley ends around 4:00pm, so the unit base needs lighting for late service. In summer, light lasts until about 9:20pm.
- We start with a few details about your shoot.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for the crew.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Let us know the serving time
- Clear the route for the van

Should I sort the food myself?
