About our film set catering in Shipton Bellinger
Seaside and period locations suit a fish and chip van perfectly. For period dramas on location and shoots on location, we’ll put together a menu of sausage and chips, haddock and chips and mushy peas.
For a shoot in a place like Shipton Bellinger, tracks and soft ground need checking with locations. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we will be straight with you about what we can do.
Shipton Bellinger questions
Is Shipton Bellinger 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.
Which station is closest to Shipton Bellinger?
The closest is Grateley station, roughly 3.4 miles away.
What will the production need?
Every production asks for different things, so send us the list.
Do you bring everything you need?
The van comes fully equipped to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.
What if lunch moves?
Yes. Tell us the lunch time and a contact on the day, and we will adjust where possible.
Can you park at the unit base?
Yes, on level ground at base; we will check the route.
What do we need to supply?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Tell us whether there is power or water nearby and we’ll take it from there.

For event organisers in Shipton Bellinger
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan service to match. Staggering groups helps a lot.
If you are booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we’ll explain how it works. We’re happy to liaise with facilities on parking and timings.
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. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
A chip van compared with other options
Takeaway rarely reaches a location hot. The van cooks on site. Comparing vans? Look at what each quote includes: hours, menu, travel, minimum charge and VAT. Our quotes spell it all out.
Why us?
- Rain does not stop the fryers
- A clear quote before booking
- Events in Shipton Bellinger and across Hampshire
- Something for crew to gather round
How we price a fish and chip van for the crew
There’s nothing hidden: the quote reflects:
- How easy the site is to reach
- The day of the week
- Whether a minimum applies
- Cod, haddock or both
Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. Your quote spells it all out.
Details that help
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what to include:
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- Your date and serving time
- Where you’d like the van to go
- Where the event is
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many people, along with your serving time, and we will reply with a quote. Just fill in our quote form.
How the day works
There’s very little for you to do on the day: point us to the spot and get on with your shoot. We handle the cooking and serving. In December, daylight in Shipton Bellinger ends around 4:00pm, so the unit base needs lighting for late service. In summer, light lasts until about 9:25pm.
- It starts with the unit base, dates and numbers.
- We check access and send a quote.
- Parking and arrival are agreed with locations.
- We set up at the unit base and fry to order for the lunch break.
- We pack up straight after service and leave the base tidy.
How to prepare
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
- Keep space clear for crew at the hatch
How to get a price
Each quote is put together for your shoot. Give us your date first, and we’ll confirm whether we are available that day.
Planning help
What the van needs
A fish and chip van is a vehicle, so the spot matters, so a few things need checking. Here’s what we look for:
- Away from the shooting area’s sound
- Space in front of the hatch
- Light near the van if needed
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.
Popular choices
- Cod and chips
- Pie and chips
- Sausage and chips
- Haddock and chips
- Crew lunches
- Mushy peas
What comes out of the fryer
Pie and chips
Pie and chips gives people a filling alternative to fish.
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it’s what most people in the south ask for. We batter it and fry it to order, so it is crisp when it reaches you.
