Film set catering for Little Posbrook events
How our film set catering works in Little Posbrook
Seaside and period locations suit a fish and chip van perfectly. For wrap parties and crew treats on long shoot days, we’ll put together a menu of cod and chips, mushy peas and pie and chips.
For a shoot in a place like Little Posbrook, tracks and soft ground need checking. Everything is fried fresh at your shoot, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
Organising for someone else?
If you are booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we will explain how it works. We are happy to liaise with facilities on parking and timings.
Parks, greens and streets typically need permission for a catering van. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.

A closer look at the menu
Gravy
Chips and gravy is a favourite in the north and the Midlands, and it is lovely with a pie.
Haddock and chips
Some people swear by haddock: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Tell us if you’d like to offer it.
What a fish and chip van costs
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, because of:
- The length of service
- How far we travel
- Parking and the way in
- The date and time of year
Larger groups typically cost less per head, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
What we need to know
For a quote, it helps to have:
- Allergies and diets you know about
- The spot you have in mind for the van
- A photo of the parking spot
- The venue or postcode

Common questions in Little Posbrook
Can you serve near the sea around Little Posbrook?
Yes, of course. The cooking is inside the van, so wind doesn’t affect it, but the queue will want shelter.
Which station is closest to Little Posbrook?
Fareham station, about 2.6 miles north-east of the centre.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Children are very welcome. Let us know numbers, and we will include them in the plan.
What does it cost to hire the van?
It depends on numbers, the menu, how long we serve and travel. Tell us about your shoot and we will send a quote.
Is there a non-fish option?
Yes: sausages and pies, with chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.
How long are you on site?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
Do you have allergen information?
Tell us about allergies when you book, and we will give you the allergen information.

What happens on the day
We arrive on time, parks where we agreed and the hatch goes up. When the fryers are up to heat, service starts right on schedule. In December, daylight in Little Posbrook ends around 4:00pm, so the unit base needs lighting for late service. In summer, light lasts until about 9:20pm.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- 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.
Getting ready for the day
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Plan where the queue will stand
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
