Film set catering for your shoot in Laverstoke
Shoot days are long, and a hot lunch on time matters. A fish and chip van parks at the unit base and fries to order. We’re often asked to cater wrap celebrations and period dramas on location, with pie and chips, cod and chips and sausage and chips.
For a shoot in a place like Laverstoke, tracks and soft ground need checking. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer before booking.
Allergies and dietary needs
We take allergies seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Let us know about coeliac disease
- Arrange something for anyone with needs we can’t meet
- Send final numbers the day before
- Send allergies to us in writing
Fewer choices mean faster service.

Is a fish and chip van right for your shoot?
Long shoots generally need a full catering unit. A van is great for short jobs and crew treats. There is no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. Your quote spells it all out.
