How our film set catering works in Welborne
A van can get a crew fed quickly within the lunch break, without needing a kitchen on location. Whether it is photo shoots and location shoots, we can cook cod and chips, haddock and chips and pie and chips and more.
Near Welborne, crews may be miles from anywhere to eat, so lunch at base matters. Everything is fried fresh at your shoot, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet, and served the moment it comes out of the fryer.
Location catering around Welborne
Welborne is about 2 miles north of Fareham, in Hampshire. Give us the address of your shoot in Welborne, and we’ll plan access and set-up. Welborne is one of 683 towns and villages in Hampshire where we bring the van. You can also see our page for Southampton, about 9 miles away.
For cast and crew travelling by train, the nearest station is Fareham station, about 1.9 miles south. The coast is within about 6 miles of Welborne, and coastal unit bases can be exposed, so plan where crew will queue.

Neighbouring places where we serve shoots include Crockerhill (1 mile east), Wickham Common (1 mile north-east), North Fareham (1 mile south-east), Hundred Acres (2 miles north-east) and Fareham (2 miles south).

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Some locations have nowhere to buy food. A van brings lunch to base. The cost per head generally falls as numbers rise, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.

Your questions about a fish and chip van for the crew in Welborne
Which station is closest to Welborne?
Fareham station, about 1.9 miles south of the centre.
Is Welborne too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
How much is fish and chip van hire?
We quote for each booking, so the price fits what you need. Give us your date, numbers and serving time and we’ll reply with a price.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Tell us about coeliac crew when you enquire, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer.
What can crew choose from?
The classics: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.
Who clears up?
We clear the van’s area after service. Let us know about bins for crew.
Can the van come to Welborne?
Yes, we do. We serve events in Welborne and across Hampshire. Send us your date to check availability.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes. We fry to order in the van at your venue, and serve straight from the hatch.
The process
