Film set catering in Lymore, fried fresh
The van needs level, firm ground at the unit base, and a route the van can manage. Typical bookings include location filming and live events and broadcasts, serving mushy peas, pie and chips and sausage and chips.
For a shoot in a place like Lymore, tracks and soft ground need checking. Food is served straight from the hatch, so it is hot and generous, and service is quick once we’re up and running.
Prices and what affects them
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- The number of meals
- The date and time of year
- The menu and how many choices
- Whether a minimum applies
Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. We set everything out in your quote.

These details help us quote quickly:
- The address or venue name
- Dietary needs, with numbers
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground

Questions from Lymore
Is Lymore 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.
Can the van go to venues in the New Forest National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We will follow the site rules.
How long are you on site?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
What if we only have street parking?
That depends on local parking rules. A drive, car park or yard is generally easier; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
Where do you take the van?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
Is there something for children?
Yes. Children normally love sausage and chips. Tell us how many are coming.
What’s on the menu?
Proper fish and chips, plus sausage or pie and chips. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
What will the production need?
Send us your supplier requirements.
Planners, venues and businesses
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan service to match. Sending people up in groups helps.
Organising a club, school or community event in Lymore? Fish and chips is a reliable crowd-pleaser. Tell us about the event and we will take it from there.

- Light near the van if needed
- A route in the van can manage, with no low branches or tight lanes
- Permission for the van at base
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.

The process
The van turns up at the agreed time, pulls onto the spot you’ve chosen. Once the oil is hot, the first portions go out right on schedule. In December, daylight in Lymore ends around 4:05pm, so the unit base needs lighting for late service. In summer, light lasts until about 9:25pm.
- It starts with the unit base, dates and numbers.
- We check the route and the unit base and send a price.
- We agree the van’s position and arrival with the location manager.
- We serve hot from the hatch when lunch is called.
- We pack up straight after service and leave the base tidy.
Before we arrive
- Give us a contact for the day
- Plan where the queue will stand
- Get permission for the van from the venue

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 a crowd, a van is normally simpler.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.

A fish and chip van or other catering?
