Warborne is one of 683 towns and villages in Hampshire we cover. We serve events right across the region, from Warborne to Southampton (about 12 miles away).
Crew coming by rail can use the station: Lymington Town station is about 1 mile away. Warborne is within about 4 miles of the New Forest National Park, and locations in protected landscapes frequently have rules about vehicles. With the sea within about 2 miles, coastal shoots need a sheltered base.

For event organisers in Warborne
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. Ask the council or landowner early.
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Sending people up in groups helps.
Should I sort the food myself?
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We are happy to send a quote so you can compare.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
Questions from Warborne
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.
Do you come out to small places like Warborne?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
What food do you serve?
Chip-shop favourites: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Give us your numbers and service window, and we’ll plan service around it.
Who clears up?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. Bins for crew are worth planning.
What do you bring?
The van comes fully equipped to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.
Can the van park on the street?
It depends on the road. A drive, car park or yard is typically easier; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes. The fryers are in the van, so food is cooked there and then, not cooked earlier and kept warm.

Looking after everyone
Allergies are taken seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Plan bins and waste at base
- Name a contact in the production office
- Confirm allergies by email
- Collect diets and allergies with crew details
A short menu keeps the line moving in a lunch break.
Plan bins at the unit base.
Space, access and the venue
We will be honest if a spot will not work, and help find another. The main points are:
- A route in the van can manage, with no low branches or tight lanes
- Away from the shooting area’s sound
- The location’s agreement
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

What we need to know
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- Roughly how many people, including children
- The venue or postcode
- The date and time of the event
- A photo of the space and the way in
The quickest way to a quote is to fill in our quote form. Tell us about your shoot in Warborne, and we’ll check the date and send a price.
Step by step
Expect a friendly, organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, set up where we have agreed, and cook and serve without fuss. Winter shoots near Warborne chase the light, which goes at about 4:05pm in December, so lunch at base is often in daylight but a wrap meal isn’t.
- The production office sends us the location, dates, numbers and lunch time.
- We check access and send 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 pack up straight after service and leave the base tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
- Share the timings for the day
