Fresh fish and chips in Liphook
How our film set catering works in Liphook
A van can get a crew fed quickly within the lunch break, without needing a kitchen on location. We are often asked to cater location filming and wrap parties, with sausage and chips, pie and chips and mushy peas.
Around Liphook, locations can be rural. Tell us about the route to base. The menu is short on purpose: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.
What comes out of the fryer
Curry sauce
The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, perfect with chips or a sausage.
Gravy
Chips and gravy is a favourite in the north and the Midlands, and it’s lovely with a pie.

How the day works
We work to your timings. If things run late, we hold off cooking until you’re ready, so nothing is cooked before it is needed. Light in Liphook lasts until about 9:20pm at midsummer; for dawn calls or late wraps, plan lighting at base.
- We start with the location, call times and crew numbers.
- You get an access check and a quote.
- We arrange the van’s spot at the unit base with locations.
- We serve hot from the hatch when lunch is called.
- We pack up straight after service and leave the base tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Have a level parking spot ready

Planners, venues and businesses
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we will explain how it works. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
Many venues set rules for catering vans: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
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 nobody has to miss the shoot.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
