Film set catering for your shoot in Warsash
We work with your location manager or production office on access, parking and timings. Typical bookings include music video shoots and wrap parties, with mushy peas, sausage and chips and pie and chips.
Shoots around Warsash frequently use houses, farms and lanes. Tell us about the route to base. You’ll know what’s included before booking: serving times, the menu and anything else agreed.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Next to a sandwich lunch, a chip van gives the crew a proper hot meal. Most vans have a minimum charge, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. Ask us what applies to your shoot.

Common questions in Warsash
Could you trade in Hamble Common?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council. Check with them first.
Can you serve near the sea around Warsash?
Yes. Wind does not affect the fryers, but plan a sheltered spot for the queue.
How fast is service?
Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. Tell us your timings and we will advise.
Is everything cooked fresh?
It is. The fryers are in the van, so food is cooked there and then, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
Can the van come to base?
Normally, with a level spot. We’ll agree the spot with your location manager.
Do you do wrap parties?
Yes, it is a popular wrap. Tell us the details.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Let us know about coeliac crew in advance, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
Normally, if it’s firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.

Planners, venues and businesses
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will confirm what we can provide.
For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
Looking after everyone
Most events have a few crew with dietary needs. To plan for them:
- Confirm numbers the day before
- Have a back-up for special diets
- Collect diets and allergies with crew details
- Send the unit base address and directions
Fewer choices mean faster service.
A quick pre-order speeds things up.
