How our film set catering works in Stonymarsh
A chip van is a popular crew treat on a long shoot. We are frequently asked to cater seaside shoots and crew lunches at base, with mushy peas, haddock and chips and sausage and chips.
Near Stonymarsh, crews may be miles from anywhere to eat, so a van at base is a big help. The menu is short on purpose: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.
For planners, venues and organisers
If you are booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we’ll talk you through the process. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
A chip van compared with other options
Ordering takeaway to a location is unreliable. A van cooks at the unit base. Comparing vans? Look at what each quote includes: hours, menu, travel, minimum charge and VAT. We set ours out clearly.
What you get with us
- The classic sides: peas, curry sauce and gravy
- We cover Stonymarsh and the whole of Hampshire
- Classic food your crew already know
- Works on wet days as well as sunny ones

We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Tell us about other diets and we will be honest about what’s possible.
