Film set catering in Phoenix Green, fried fresh
A chip van fits right in at seaside locations. For music video shoots and live events and broadcasts, we can cook sausage and chips, haddock and chips and mushy peas and more.
Near Phoenix Green, check tracks and ground for the van. The menu is short on purpose: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Long shoots generally need a full catering unit. A chip van suits short shoots and treat days. Cost depends on numbers, menu and service time, along with distance and access to the site. Every booking gets its own quote.
Why book our van in Phoenix Green
- No kitchen, no crockery, no washing up
- Hot food handed straight over
- No surprises in your quote
- Works on wet days as well as sunny ones
Take a look at our prices page and the cost guide.
Diets, allergies and planning
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Collect diets and allergies with crew details
- Let us know about coeliac disease
- Arrange something for anyone with needs we cannot meet
- Agree how the base is left
A short menu keeps the line moving in a lunch break.
Cover near the hatch helps on wet days.
Planning a shoot in Phoenix Green
Phoenix Green is about 3 miles north-west of Fleet, in Hampshire. Across the RG27 area, we can bring the van to you. We cover all 683 towns and villages in Hampshire, from the larger towns to small villages. Our nearest city page is Reading, about 11 miles away.
Crew coming by rail can use the station: the closest railway station is Winchfield station, roughly 0.7 miles south of the centre.
We cover shoots in every part of RG27. That could mean a shoot at a home on Pippin Square, London Road and Weir Road, as long as there’s somewhere for the van. We also bring the van to shoots in Winchfield (1 mile south), West Green (1 mile north-west), Murrell Green (1 mile west), Hook (2 miles west) and Broad Oak (2 miles south). Further out, we also take the van to Basingstoke (9 miles west), Farnborough (6 miles east), Fleet (3 miles south-east), Aldershot (7 miles south-east), Alton (10 miles south) and Yateley (4 miles north-east).
Nearby you’ll also find Hart Shopping Centre (3.1 miles east) and West Green House Agricultural Museum (1 mile north-west). Green spaces nearby include Dogmersfield Lake and Fleet Pond Nature Reserve.
- Local schools include Calthorpe Park School (2.3 miles south-east)
- Local pubs include Phoenix Inn (under half a mile north-west)
How it works
We need time before service to bring the fryers up to heat, so we are there in good time before you want to eat. In December, daylight in Phoenix Green ends around 3:55pm, so a late lunch or wrap at base needs lighting. In summer, light lasts until about 9:25pm.
- Contact us with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Share the timings for the day
- Clear the route for the van
- Have a level parking spot ready
How to get a price
Each quote is put together for your shoot. Start with your date, and we’ll confirm whether we are available that day.

For planners, venues and organisers
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will confirm what we can provide.
For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
Planning the van’s spot
We’ll be honest if a spot won’t work, and suggest an alternative. What matters most:
- A queue area clear of trucks
- A lit spot for dark mornings or evenings
- The location’s agreement
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.
On the menu in Phoenix Green
- Mushy peas
- Crew lunches
- Pie and chips
- Haddock and chips

Common questions in Phoenix Green
Which station is closest to Phoenix Green?
Winchfield station, about 0.7 miles south of the centre.
Is Phoenix Green too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
What will the production need?
Every production asks for different things, so send us the list.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Let us know numbers, and we will plan for them.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Not as standard: batter is typically made with wheat flour. Let us know and we will tell you what we can do before you book.
Do you take everything away?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Let us know about bins for crew.
What about crew who don’t eat fish?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Tell us about other diets and we’ll be honest about what’s possible.
Can you cook in the rain?
The weather doesn’t stop the van, because the cooking happens inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
What affects the price in Phoenix Green
These are the factors that matter most:
- How many people are eating
- How long we serve
- The day of the week
- Access and parking
Larger groups usually cost less per head, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.
What to tell us
The more we know about your shoot, the better we can plan. Try to include:
- Dietary needs, with numbers
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- A photo of the parking spot
- The date and when you’d like to eat
The quickest way to a quote is to fill in our quote form. Give us the details of your shoot, and we will check the date and send a price.
