How our film set catering works in Tye
Location shoots, commercials and wrap parties all suit a chip van. Typical bookings include location filming and wrap parties, with mushy peas, cod and chips and haddock and chips.
Near Tye, check tracks and ground for the van. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet, and served the moment it comes out of the fryer.

Tye: your questions answered
Can you serve near the sea around Tye?
Yes, of course. Wind does not affect the fryers, but plan a sheltered spot for the queue.
Is Tye close to London?
About 60 miles from central London.
Is there a non-fish option?
We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we will be honest about what’s possible.
Do you have allergen information?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Send us any allergies in writing.
Can you park at the unit base?
Yes, wherever locations agree.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Tell us about any coeliac crew and we’ll explain the options before you book.
Do you cover Tye?
Yes, we do. We serve events in Tye and across Hampshire. Tell us your date and we will check availability.
Is grass a problem?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and we will advise.
What affects the price in Tye
The same numbers can mean different prices, depending on:
- The length of service
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- Any minimum charge
- The number of meals
Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. We’ll tell you up front.
Getting an accurate quote
When you get in touch, it helps to tell us:
- Dietary needs, with numbers
- Roughly how many people, including children
- A picture of where the van would go
- Where the event is
Every booking is quoted individually, so the price fits what you actually need. For a quote, use our quote form.
A closer look at the menu
Mushy peas
Proper mushy peas start with dried marrowfat peas. They’re the side most people expect.
Sausage and chips
A sausage and chips is the chip-shop classic for younger crew and fish-dodgers.
Before you choose a spot
We’ll be honest if a spot won’t work. What matters most:
- Access checked by locations
- Permission for the van at base
- A level, firm spot at the unit base
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly.

The process
Rain does not stop the fryers, because the cooking happens inside the van. It’s worth thinking about cover for the queue, though. Long summer days in Tye, with light until about 9:20pm, suit evening wraps outdoors.
- Tell us what you’re planning and when you’d like to eat.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Before we arrive
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Have a level parking spot ready

Planning help
Should I sort the food myself?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is usually simpler.
