A chip van near West Lavington
Film set catering in West Lavington, cooked to order
Call times change, so a contact on the day helps and we will work around it. For period dramas on location and wrap celebrations, we’ll put together a menu of cod and chips, haddock and chips and mushy peas.
Rural locations near West Lavington can be a long way from food, so a van at base is a big help. Food is served straight from the hatch, so it’s hot and generous, and the queue keeps moving.

Step by step
You’ll know we are ready when the smell of frying drifts over, about the time the first crew wander across. From then on, people come up as they’re ready. At midsummer, West Lavington has light until about 9:20pm.
- Contact us with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for the crew.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Getting ready for the day
- Make sure the van can get in
- Plan where the queue will stand

Working with your venue
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Staggering groups helps a lot.
For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can hold the date.
Prices and what affects them
These are the factors that matter most:
- The menu and how many choices
- Parking and the way in
- The number of meals
- The length of service
Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. Ask us what applies to your shoot.
What we need to know
The more we know about your shoot, the better we can plan. Try to include:
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- The address or venue name
- Where you’d like the van to go
Send us the date, the address or GU29 postcode and rough numbers, along with your serving time, and we’ll reply with a quote. To get started, use our quote form.

Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
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.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is generally the easier option.
