Film set catering in Tourner Bury, cooked to order
Fried-to-order service suits a lunch break, without needing a kitchen on location. For period dramas on location and crew treats on long shoot days, we can cook sausage and chips, cod and chips and mushy peas.
Rural locations near Tourner Bury can be a long way from food, so a van at base is a big help. We cook inside the van, right where your crew are, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.
Before you choose a spot
No two venues are the same, so we’ll ask about yours before we confirm. In general, we need:
- Lighting for early or late service
- Space in front of the hatch
- A hardstanding spot at the unit base

The process
We don’t cook ahead. Fish is battered and fried when people come up to the hatch, so it is as fresh as from any chip shop. Winter shoots near Tourner Bury chase the light, which goes at about 4:00pm in December, so lunch at base is frequently in daylight but a wrap meal is not.
- We start with the location, call times and crew numbers.
- You get an access check and a quote.
- Parking and arrival are agreed with locations.
- We set up at the unit base and fry to order for the lunch break.
- We clear up and get out of the way.
Getting ready for the day
- Keep space clear for crew at the hatch
- Make sure the van can get in
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park

Crew catering near Tourner Bury
Tourner Bury is about 1 mile north-east of South Hayling, in Hampshire. Across the PO11 area, we’ll come to your venue, home or workplace. We take the van to all 683 towns and villages across Hampshire, from the larger towns to small villages. Our bookings stretch from Tourner Bury to Southampton (21 miles away).
Historic houses near Tourner Bury include Warblington Castle (3.5 miles north). If you are shooting at a historic house, the van will need a base agreed with the property. Tourner Bury is roughly 62 miles from central London. With the sea within about 2 miles, coastal shoots need a sheltered base, so plan where crew will queue.
We cover shoots in every part of the PO11 postcode area and the streets around it. We can serve a shoot on streets such as Tournerbury Lane, St Benedict Road and Beech Grove or the roads around them, as long as there’s somewhere for the van. If your venue is just outside Tourner Bury, we also cover South Hayling (1 mile south-west), West Town (1 mile west), Tye (2 miles north), Stoke (2 miles north) and North Hayling (2 miles north). Larger places within reach include Gosport (8 miles west), Havant (5 miles north), Fareham (11 miles west), Horndean (8 miles north), Waterlooville (7 miles north-west) and Petersfield (15 miles north).

What affects the price in Tourner Bury
Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- The minimum booking
- Parking and the way in
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- Your choice of menu
A chip van often compares well with a plated meal, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. Ask us for a quote.
What we need to know
The more we know about your shoot, the better we can plan. Please include:
- Allergies and diets you know about
- The date and time of the event
- Expected numbers
- The spot you have in mind for the van
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: where the van would park, how to get in, numbers and timings. A picture of the spot helps too. When you are ready, send us your details through our quote form.
Should I sort the food myself?
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. We’re happy to send a quote so you can compare.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Tourner Bury: your questions answered
Is Tourner Bury too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Is Tourner Bury close to London?
About 62 miles from central London.
Can you adjust to schedule changes?
We expect changes. Keep us updated and we will adapt.
What happens if it rains?
We carry on in the rain, because the fryers are inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We clear the van’s area after service. Let us know about bins for crew.
Do we need to provide equipment?
All the cooking happens in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site.
Can you park on the road outside?
It depends on the road. A drive, car park or yard is usually easier; for the street, check the council’s rules.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
No, not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Let us know and we will tell you what we can do.
Organising for someone else?
Many venues set rules for catering vans: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can hold the date.
