A chip van near Titchfield
Film set catering for your shoot in Titchfield
Schedules move, so a contact on the day helps and we’ll adjust where we can. We are often asked to cater stills shoots and location shoots, serving sausage and chips, pie and chips and cod and chips.
Rural locations near Titchfield can be a long way from food, so a van at base is a big help. We serve from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and the queue keeps moving.
Perfect for your shoot in Titchfield
It suits short shoots without a full catering unit.
Whatever brings people together, fish and chips from the hatch goes down well. We regularly serve:
- Outside broadcasts
- End-of-shoot parties
- Treat days on a long shoot
- Location shoots
For crew arriving by train, the closest railway station is Fareham station, roughly 2 miles east of the centre.
What your quote should include
- How much space the van takes up
- When final numbers are due
- What happens if plans change
- Any travel, parking or access charges
Common questions in Titchfield
Is Titchfield 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.
What about events near the coast?
Yes, of course. The cooking is inside the van, so wind does not affect it, but the queue will want shelter.
Do you have allergen information?
Tell us about allergies when you book, and we will tell you what’s in each item and what we can offer.
Do you do anything other than fish?
Yes: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.
What does the van need?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, near your crew, with room for a queue at the hatch. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes. We fry to order in the van at your venue, then handed over hot from the hatch.
How much is fish and chip van hire?
We quote for each booking, based on your numbers and timings. Give us your date, numbers and serving time for a clear quote.
Can the van come to Titchfield?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, including Titchfield and the rest of Hampshire. For a quote, fill in our quote form.
Looking after everyone
Nearly every event has some special diets. To plan for them:
- Plan bins and waste at base
- Update numbers if they change
- Tell us about coeliac crew specifically
- Plan an alternative for anyone we can’t cater for
Tell us if supporting artists are eating.
A gazebo by the van keeps the line dry.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is usually the easier option.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
How the day works
We do not cook ahead. Fish is battered and fried when people come up to the hatch, so it is as fresh as from any chip shop. Light in Titchfield lasts until about 9:20pm at midsummer; for early or late service, base needs lighting.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check the route in and send a price.
- We arrive in good time to set up.
- Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
- We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we’re done.
How to prepare
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Keep space clear for crew at the hatch
- Let us know who to talk to on the day

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Next to a sandwich lunch, hot fish and chips is a real lunch. There is no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. Your quote spells it all out.

- Events in Titchfield and across Hampshire
- Cod, haddock, sausages and pies
