Planning a shoot in Shootash
Shootash is about 3 miles west of Romsey, in Hampshire. For shoots in Shootash, we plan around your venue and timings: a quote, a parking spot and fresh frying on the day. We cover all 683 towns and villages in Hampshire. You can also see our page for Southampton, about 9 miles away.
Within reach of Shootash are historic houses such as Mottisfont Abbey (3 miles north) and Landford Manor (3.7 miles west). Historic houses are popular locations, and most set strict rules for vehicles, so plan the unit base with locations.

Takeaway run or book a van?
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
A fish and chip van or other catering?
Takeaway rarely reaches a location hot. A van cooks at the unit base. Distance and any road charges make a difference, so it helps to give us the postcode.
Why Shootash hosts choose us
- Fish and chips fried fresh on site
- A menu almost everyone likes
- No kitchen needed
- A van that becomes part of the event

Your questions about a fish and chip van for the crew in Shootash
What’s the nearest station to Shootash?
Romsey station, about 2.4 miles east of the centre.
Is Shootash too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Let us know and we’ll tell you what we can do.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We clear the van’s area after service. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.
Which areas do you serve?
We take the van across London and the South East, including Hampshire. Find your area.
How much space do you need?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, near your crew, with room for a queue at the hatch. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
What food do you serve?
The classics: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
Can the van come to our wrap?
Yes. It is a great way to end a shoot.
A closer look at the menu
Curry sauce
Some people won’t eat chips without curry sauce, so we bring it along.
Haddock and chips
Haddock has loyal fans: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Tell us if you’d like to offer it.
What the van needs
Most drives, car parks, yards and firm lawns can take the van, but there are a few things to check:
- A level, firm spot at the unit base
- Permission for the van at base
- Away from the shooting area’s sound
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly.

Prices and what affects them
There are no hidden charges: the quote reflects:
- Your choice of menu
- Whether a minimum applies
- The day of the week
- The length of service
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and access to the site. We quote for each booking individually.
What to tell us
To speed things up, tell us:
- Expected numbers
- Anything awkward about the way in
- Where the van would park
- The address or venue name
Each quote is put together for your shoot. Give us your date first, and we’ll check availability straight away.
Step by step
We need time before service to bring the fryers up to heat, so we’re there in good time before you want to eat. Light in Shootash lasts until about 9:25pm at midsummer; for dawn calls or late wraps, plan lighting at base.
- Get in touch with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for the crew.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
How to prepare
- Give us a contact for the day
- Share the timings for the day
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
Getting a price
It is easy to get a price: tell us the date, place, numbers and serving time. We will come back with a clear quote.
