Stuckton questions
Can the van go to venues in the New Forest National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We will follow the site rules.
Is Stuckton 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.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
Normally, if it is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
Can you feed visitors on set?
Of course. Let us know total numbers.
What’s on the menu?
Chip-shop favourites: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes. We fry to order in the van at your venue, and serve straight from the hatch.
How long does set-up take?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
What paperwork do you provide?
Tell us what the production needs and we will confirm what we can provide.
Film set catering for your shoot in Stuckton
A chip van fits right in at seaside locations. We serve sausage and chips, pie and chips and haddock and chips, and we are often booked for music video shoots and seaside shoots.
Rural locations near Stuckton can be a long way from food, so a van at base is a big help. The menu is short on purpose: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.
What the van needs
The right spot keeps everyone safe and the service smooth. We look for:
- Far enough from set to keep noise down
- Light near the van if needed
- A queue area clear of trucks

Should I sort the food myself?
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.

The process
The smell of the fryers does the inviting. Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, and chips are fried in batches through service. Sunset in Stuckton is about 8:55pm in late May, 9:25pm at midsummer and 7:10pm in late September; for early or late service, base needs lighting.
- It starts with the unit base, dates and numbers.
- We check access and send a quote.
- Parking and arrival are agreed with locations.
- We serve hot from the hatch when lunch is called.
- We pack up straight after service and leave the base tidy.
Before we arrive
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
How to get a price

What comes out of the fryer
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are a must for plenty of fish and chip fans.

Planning for dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Let us know about coeliac disease
- Confirm allergies by email
- Ensure we can reach locations on the day
- Send final numbers the day before
