Film set catering in Well
A closer look at the menu
Curry sauce
The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, perfect with chips or a sausage.

Film set catering in Well, fried fresh
Locations and the production office can deal with us directly. For crew treats on long shoot days and location filming, we’ll put together a menu of pie and chips, cod and chips and sausage and chips and more.
Rural locations near Well can be a long way from food, so a van at base is a big help. Your quote spells out what’s included: the date, the service time and the menu.
FAQs for Well
Is Well too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Which station is closest to Well?
Bentley (Hampshire) station, about 2.9 miles south-east of the centre.
What if lunch moves?
Schedules move, and we plan for it. A contact on the day is all we need.
Do you cater wrap parties?
Yes. It’s a great way to end a shoot.
Where can the van park?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, close to where people will eat, and space for a queue. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
Can you feed visitors on set?
Yes. Just tell us who counts.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes, always. We fry to order in the van at your venue, then handed over hot from the hatch.
Who clears up?
The pitch is left as we found it. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
What the van needs
Before the day, we will agree where the van parks. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- Agreement from the location manager and landowner
- Light near the van if needed
- A queue area clear of trucks
Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly.

What happens on the day
You don’t need to do much on the day: show us the spot, tell us when to start, and enjoy your shoot. The frying and serving are down to us. Long summer days in Well, with light until about 9:25pm, suit evening wraps outdoors.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
Preparing for the day
- Keep space clear for crew at the hatch
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue

Planning help
What affects the price in Well
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, because of:
- The menu and how many choices
- Any minimum charge
- The number of meals
- How long we serve
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and access to the site. Every booking gets its own quote.
What we need to know
For a quote, it helps to have:
- Roughly how many people, including children
- The date and time of the event
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- Where the van would park
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: where the van would park, how to get in, numbers and timings. A photo of the spot helps too. To send your details, fill in our quote form.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the shoot.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your crew instead.
Why choose a fish and chip van in Well?
Ordering takeaway to a location is unreliable. A van cooks at the unit base. Got a budget? Let us know, and we will suggest how to make it work. A short menu is frequently the best value.
What you get with us
- Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy on the side
- No surprises in your quote
- No kitchen, no crockery, no washing up
- A van that becomes part of the event
