Film set catering for Over Wallop events
About our film set catering in Over Wallop
Shoot days are long, and a hot lunch on time matters. A fish and chip van parks at the unit base and fries to order. Popular choices include cod and chips, haddock and chips and pie and chips, and we’re regularly asked to cater location filming and unit base lunches.
For a shoot in a place like Over Wallop, tracks and soft ground need checking. We cook inside the van, right where your crew are, so the batter is still crisp when it is handed over.

A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what to include:
- Dietary needs, with numbers
- Anything awkward about the way in
- Where you’d like the van to go

The process
The smell of the fryers does the inviting. Each piece of fish is battered and fried to order, and chips are fried in batches through service. Winter shoots near Over Wallop chase the light, which goes at about 4:00pm in December, so lunch at base is often in daylight but a wrap meal is not.
- We start with a few details about your shoot.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for the crew.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time

Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
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 typically simpler.
Allergies and dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Name a contact in the production office
- Update numbers if they change
- Arrange something for anyone with needs we cannot meet
- Ask for dietary needs on the crew info form
We arrive at base in good time and set up, out of the way.
End the shoot with a chip van wrap.

How far is Over Wallop from London?
About 69 miles from central London.

We can. Give us a contact for changes, and we’ll adjust where possible.
Do you need power or water?
Tell us what’s available at the site when you enquire, and we’ll confirm what we need.
