Film set catering in South Gorley, fried fresh
On a long job, a chip van day is a morale boost. We are frequently asked to cater music video shoots and stills shoots, serving mushy peas, cod and chips and haddock and chips.
Near South Gorley, crews may be miles from anywhere to eat, so a van at base is a big help. We keep the menu short: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.

South Gorley: your questions answered
Do you come to venues in the New Forest National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Do you come out to small places like South Gorley?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
What about crew who don’t eat fish?
There is: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
Is everything cooked fresh?
It is. We cook inside the van, so it is fried on the spot, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
Can you cater for allergies?
Let us know about allergies in advance, and we’ll tell you what’s in each item.
What paperwork do you provide?
Every production asks for different things, so ask your production office for the list.

The menu, dish by dish
Curry sauce
Curry sauce divides opinion, so we bring it along.
Pie and chips
A pie and chips is proper comfort food, and it’s especially welcome on a cold day.
Before you choose a spot
The right spot keeps everyone safe and the service smooth. We look for:
- A hardstanding spot at the unit base
- Clear of the shot and sound
- Lighting for early or late service
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.
Popular choices
- Sausage and chips
- Haddock and chips
- Pie and chips
- Crew lunches
- Mushy peas
- Cod and chips
DIY versus a fish and chip van
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is normally the easier option.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.

How it works

- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- We cook to order on the day for the crew.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.
