Film set catering in Palestine, fried fresh
A chip van fits right in at seaside locations. We’re often asked to cater wrap celebrations and shoots on location, serving pie and chips, haddock and chips and mushy peas.
Near Palestine, check tracks and ground for the van with locations. We keep the menu short: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.
Is a fish and chip van right for your shoot?
Next to a sandwich lunch, a chip van gives the crew a proper hot meal. Distance and any road charges make a difference, so tell us exactly where your shoot is.

Planners, venues and businesses
If you’re booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we will explain how it works. We’re happy to liaise with facilities on parking and timings.

Your questions about a fish and chip van for the crew in Palestine
Which station is closest to Palestine?
Palestine has its own station: Grateley station.
Is Palestine 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 you park on the road outside?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Check with your council first.
What does the van need?
Less than you might think: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, that the van can reach easily. If in doubt, send a photo.
What if lunch moves?
We expect changes. A contact on the day is all we need.
Can the van come to base?
Typically, with a level spot. We’ll agree the spot with your location manager.
Do you have allergen information?
Tell us about allergies when you book, and we will give you the allergen information.
How fast is service?
Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. Tell us your timings and we will advise.
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 usually simpler.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.
What comes out of the fryer
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips covers anyone who does not want fish, and it is a favourite with children.
Pie and chips
A pie and chips is proper comfort food, and it’s a favourite in colder months.
Planning for dietary needs
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Try these:
- Agree the waste plan with locations
- Give us a map or what3words for base
- Send final numbers the day before
- Give us a contact for call-time changes
We arrive at base in good time and set up.
Cover near the hatch helps on wet days.

What else we do in Palestine
How it works
Serving is straightforward: everything is handed over hot from the hatch, and people can eat where they like. Afterwards we pack up. Long summer days in Palestine, with light until about 9:25pm, suit evening wraps outdoors, while by late September it’s nearer 7:10pm.
- Tell us what you’re planning and when you’d like to eat.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
How to prepare
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Let us know the serving time

Shooting in Palestine: unit bases and access
Palestine is in Hampshire. For a shoot in Palestine, we can park on a drive, a car park, a yard or firm, dry grass. Palestine is one of 683 towns and villages in Hampshire we cover. We serve events right across the region, from Palestine to Southampton (20 miles away).
Crew coming by rail can use the station: Palestine has its own station, Grateley station. Among the historic houses close to Palestine are Idmiston Manor (4.7 miles south-west). Period locations like these normally keep vehicles well away from the house, so agree the base early.
Wherever your shoot is in SP11, we can bring the van to you. Streets in the area include Station Road, Streetway Road and Campbell Close, and the van can serve a shoot on any of them with a suitable parking spot. Nearby, we also serve shoots in Grateley (1 mile north-east), Quarley (2 miles north), Over Wallop (2 miles south-east), Fox (2 miles north-east) and Kentsboro (3 miles east). Larger places within reach include Winchester (15 miles south-east), Andover (7 miles north-east), Romsey (14 miles south-east), Hyde (15 miles south-east), Tidworth (5 miles north) and Weeke (14 miles south-east).
Green spaces nearby include Quarley Hill and Winterbourne Downs RSPB reserve.
Prices and what affects them
These are the factors that matter most:
- The menu and how many choices
- How far we travel
- Numbers
- How easy the site is to reach
Most vans have a minimum charge, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. We’ll tell you up front.
Details that help

- A picture of where the van would go
