A chip van near Langstone
Film set catering for your shoot in Langstone
Everything is cooked as crew come up, so it is hot when the break is called. Typical bookings include shoots on location and end-of-shoot parties, with haddock and chips, mushy peas and cod and chips.
Rural locations near Langstone can be a long way from food, so lunch at base matters. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.
A chip van compared with other options
Some locations have nowhere to buy food. A van brings lunch to base. There is no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. Your quote spells it all out.
Why us?
- Fried fresh, not kept warm
- No surprises in your quote
- We cover Langstone and the whole of Hampshire
- The queue at the hatch gets people talking
