Fresh fish and chips in Murrell Green
How our film set catering works in Murrell Green
On a long job, a chip van day is a morale boost. We are often asked to cater crew lunches at base and stills shoots, with sausage and chips, pie and chips and mushy peas.
Rural locations near Murrell Green can be a long way from food, so a van at base is a big help. Your quote spells out what’s included: the date, the service time and the menu.
Takeaway run or book a van?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.

A fish and chip van or other catering?
Ordering takeaway to a location is unreliable. The van cooks on site. Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. We’ll tell you up front.
Why us?
- We cover Murrell Green and the whole of Hampshire
- We cook inside the van, whatever the weather
- Fish and chips fried fresh on site
- Hot food handed straight over

- Send allergies to us in writing
- Update numbers if they change
- Have a back-up for special diets
- Name a contact in the production office
Supporting artists and visitors can be included in numbers.
Pre-orders from the crew help on tight breaks.
Your questions about a fish and chip van for the crew in Murrell Green
How far is Murrell Green from London?
About 39 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Do you come out to small places like Murrell Green?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
How much is fish and chip van hire?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and travel. Tell us about your shoot and we’ll send a quote.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes. Everything is fried fresh in the van, then handed over hot from the hatch.
Can you adjust to schedule changes?
We expect changes. A contact on the day is all we need.
Do we need to provide equipment?
All the cooking happens in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site and we’ll confirm what we need.
Can the van come to Murrell Green?
We do. Murrell Green is one of the places we cover. Tell us your date and we’ll check availability.
What does the van need?
Less than you might think: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, that the van can reach easily. Send us a photo if you are not sure.
How it works
We work to your timings. If things run late, we hold off cooking until you’re ready, so nothing is cooked before it’s needed. Long summer days in Murrell Green, with light until about 9:25pm, suit evening wraps outdoors, while by late September it’s nearer 7:05pm.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- Show us where the van would go, and we’ll 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.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Preparing for the day
- Name one person we can call on the day
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Keep space clear for crew at the hatch
