How our film set catering works in Lockerley
A chip van is a popular crew treat on a long shoot. Whether it’s location shoots and seaside shoots, we can cook pie and chips, mushy peas and cod and chips.
Rural locations near Lockerley can be a long way from food, so lunch at base matters. Your quote spells out what’s included: serving times, the menu and anything else agreed, with no surprises on the day.
What happens on the day
We need a level, firm place to park the van, close to where people will eat, which we agree with you beforehand. At midsummer, Lockerley has light until about 9:25pm.
- First, tell us about your shoot.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- We cook to order on the day for the crew.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.
How to prepare
- Share the timings for the day
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park

Why choose a fish and chip van in Lockerley?
Some locations have nowhere to buy food. The van solves that. 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. We set everything out in your quote.
Why Lockerley hosts choose us
- Rain does not stop the fryers
- Served hot, straight from the hatch
- Classic food your crew already know
- Fried fresh, not kept warm

What affects the price in Lockerley
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, depending on:
- Service time
- Cod, haddock or both
- How many people are eating
- The date and time of year
Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so it helps to give us the postcode.

Common questions in Lockerley
Is Lockerley too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Which station is closest to Lockerley?
Mottisfont & Dunbridge station, about 1.2 miles east of the centre.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We clear the van’s area after service. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.
Can you feed visitors on set?
Of course. Just tell us who counts.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Tell us about any coeliac crew and we’ll explain the options.
Do you do anything other than fish?
There is: sausages and pies, with chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
Which areas do you serve?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
What if lunch moves?
We can. Give us a contact for changes, and we will adjust where possible.
Should I sort the food myself?
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is normally the easier option.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Before you choose a spot
A fish and chip van is a vehicle, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way. These are the things we check:
- A clear route to base
- A level, firm spot at the unit base
- Clear of the shot and sound
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before booking.
