Film set catering in Selborne
Film set catering in Selborne, fried fresh
Fried-to-order service suits a lunch break, with no kitchen needed on site. We are frequently asked to cater music video shoots and fashion shoots on location, with sausage and chips, haddock and chips and pie and chips.
Near Selborne, crews may be miles from anywhere to eat, so a van at base is a big help. You will know what’s included before you book: serving times, the menu and anything else agreed.
Selborne questions
Which station is closest to Selborne?
The closest is Alton station, roughly 3.8 miles away.
Do you come out to small places like Selborne?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Can you cater for allergies?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Tell us about allergies in advance.
Can you serve children?
Of course. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Tell us how many are coming.
Can the van come to base?
Yes, on level ground at base; we will check the route.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes, always. We fry to order in the van at your venue, and serve straight from the hatch.
What food do you serve?
Fish and chips, of course, plus sausage or pie and chips. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Give us your numbers and service window, and we’ll plan to keep the queue moving.

For event organisers in Selborne

For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan service to match. Staggering groups helps a lot.
What happens on the day
We need a level, firm place to park the van, close to where people will eat, and we agree exactly where before the day. On a winter shoot near Selborne, the light goes by about 4:00pm, so the unit base needs lighting for late service. Summer shoots have daylight until about 9:20pm.

- You get an access check and a quote.
- We arrange the van’s spot at the unit base with locations.
- We serve hot from the hatch when lunch is called.
- We clear up and get out of the way.
