About our film set catering in Lymington
Seaside and period locations suit a fish and chip van perfectly. For seaside and period locations and commercials and music videos, we can cook cod and chips, sausage and chips and pie and chips.
For a shoot in Lymington, tell us where base is and how to reach it. We serve from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and the queue keeps moving.
Step by step
The van turns up at the agreed time, pulls onto the spot you’ve chosen and the hatch goes up. When the fryers are up to heat, service starts right on schedule. Winter shoots near Lymington chase the light, which goes at about 4:05pm in December.
- 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.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Keep space clear for crew at the hatch
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
