How our film set catering works in Petersfield
We cater location shoots, unit bases, commercials, music videos and wrap parties. Popular choices include cod and chips, pie and chips and sausage and chips, and we’re regularly asked to cater ad shoots and photo shoots.
For a shoot in Petersfield, tell us where base is and how to reach it. Your quote spells out what’s included: serving times, the menu and anything else agreed.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
A wrap party at a venue costs more. A van keeps it relaxed and simple. Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. We set everything out in your quote.

Petersfield questions
What’s the nearest station to Petersfield?
Petersfield has its own station: Petersfield station.
Can the van go to venues in the South Downs National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We will follow the site rules.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
How long does set-up take?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Not as standard: batter is typically made with wheat flour. Tell us about any coeliac crew and we will explain the options.
What does the van need?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, near your crew, and space for a queue. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
What if we only have street parking?
That depends on local parking rules. Off-road parking is usually simpler; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
Can you park at the unit base?
Usually, with a level spot. We will agree the spot with your location manager.
For planners, venues and organisers
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we will talk you through the process. We’re happy to liaise with facilities on parking and timings.
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan service to match. Sending people up in groups helps.
What comes out of the fryer
Curry sauce
Curry sauce divides opinion, so we bring it along.
Haddock and chips
Haddock has loyal fans: a firmer flake and a sweeter taste. Tell us if you’d like to offer it.

What a fish and chip van costs
These are the factors that matter most:
- The date and time of year
- The length of service
- Any minimum charge
- Cod, haddock or both
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and access to the site. Every booking gets its own quote.

You don’t need every detail fixed to get a quote, but these help:
- Your date and serving time

The process
We arrive in good time before you want to eat, park the van and get the fryers going. Crew usually gather round the hatch once service starts. Daylight is short on winter shoots near Petersfield: sunset is about 4:00pm, so lunch at base is often in daylight but a wrap meal is not.
- Get in touch with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for the crew.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Getting ready for the day
- Make sure the van can get in
- Keep space clear for crew at the hatch
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
How to get a price
Send us the date, the address or GU31 postcode and rough numbers, plus when you’d like to eat, and you’ll get a clear price. Just send us your details through our quote form.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
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 cooks in front of your crew instead.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is normally simpler.
