Film set catering in Walhampton
How our film set catering works in Walhampton
Locations and the production office can deal with us directly. Whether it’s live events and broadcasts and seaside shoots, we’ll put together a menu of sausage and chips, haddock and chips and pie and chips and more.
Rural locations near Walhampton can be a long way from food, so a van at base is a big help. The menu is short on purpose: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.
The process
Nothing gathers a crowd like the smell of fish and chips. Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, and chips are fried in batches through service. Long summer days in Walhampton, with light until about 9:25pm, suit evening wraps outdoors.
- First, tell us about your shoot.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
- We cook to order on the day for the crew.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.
How to prepare
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Tell us when you want to eat
How to get a price
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: the parking spot, access, numbers and serving time. Photos of the spot and the way in help. To send your details, fill in our quote form.

- Ask for dietary needs on the crew info form
- Let us know about coeliac disease
- Ensure we can reach locations on the day
- Share the base location and route
We take our used oil and waste with us.
A dining area at base helps.
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 explain how it works. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
Parks, greens and streets usually need permission for a catering van. Ask the council or landowner early.

Other occasions in Walhampton
Walhampton for film and TV crews
Walhampton is about 1 mile east of Lymington, in Hampshire. From the centre of Walhampton to the outskirts, we offer the same service: fish and chips fried to order, served hot and quoted clearly. Walhampton is one of 683 towns and villages in Hampshire we cover. You can also see our page for Southampton, about 12 miles away.
The New Forest National Park is within about 5 miles of Walhampton, so check vehicle rules with locations. With the sea within about a mile, coastal shoots need a sheltered base.
This part of Hampshire takes in SO41, and we can serve your shoot anywhere in it. Your shoot could be at a house on Undershore Road and Walhampton Hill or the roads around them, as long as there is somewhere for the van. We also bring the van to shoots in Lymington (1 mile west), Portmore (1 mile north), Warborne (1 mile north), Pennington (1 mile south-west) and Pilley (2 miles north). Larger places within reach include Totton (11 miles north), Hedge End (15 miles north-east), Hythe (9 miles north-east), New Milton (6 miles west), Ringwood (12 miles north-west) and Locks Heath (14 miles north-east).
Other landmarks nearby include Lymington New Forest Hospital (0.8 miles north-west) and Yarmouth Castle (4 miles south). The countryside around Walhampton includes Boldre Foreshore.

- Nearby, you’ll find The Ferryman pub (less than half a mile north)
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is generally simpler.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Is a fish and chip van right for your shoot?
A full location catering unit suits long shoots with three meals a day. A van is great for short jobs and crew treats. Larger groups generally cost less per head, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
Why book with us
- Everything cooked to order at your event
- The classic sides: peas, curry sauce and gravy
- A clear quote before booking

Walhampton questions
What about events near the coast?
Yes, of course. Wind doesn’t affect the fryers, but plan a sheltered spot for the queue.
Do you come to venues in the New Forest National Park?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Can you cook in the rain?
Rain doesn’t stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. Crew will appreciate cover near the hatch.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We clear the van’s area after service. Let us know about bins for crew.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes, always. Everything is fried fresh in the van, then handed over hot from the hatch.
Can you cater for allergies?
Tell us about allergies when you book, and we’ll give you the allergen information and what we can offer.
Can you park on the road outside?
It depends on the road. A drive, car park or yard is generally easier; for the street, check the council’s rules.
