We cater location shoots, unit bases, commercials, music videos and wrap parties. We serve mushy peas, haddock and chips and sausage and chips, and typical bookings are for end-of-shoot parties and lunch at the unit base.
Rural locations near Milton Hill can be a long way from food, so lunch at base matters. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.

FAQs for Milton Hill
Is Milton Hill too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can the van go to venues in the North Wessex Downs National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We will work to whatever the site needs.
What if we only have street parking?
Only where it’s legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Ask your council early.
Do you have allergen information?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Tell us about allergies in advance.
How much space do you need?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, close to where people will eat, and space for a queue. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
Is there something for children?
Yes. Children usually love sausage and chips. Tell us how many are coming.
What paperwork do you provide?
Every production asks for different things, so send us the list.
Can you cook in the rain?
Rain does not stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. It’s worth planning some cover for the queue.
