What comes out of the fryer
Gravy
In the north and the Midlands, gravy is the side of choice, and it goes perfectly with a pie.
Sausage and chips
A sausage and chips is the chip-shop classic for younger crew and fish-dodgers, especially with curry sauce.
About our film set catering in West Tisted
Everything is cooked as crew come up, so it’s hot when the break is called. We are often asked to cater ad shoots and seaside shoots, serving sausage and chips, cod and chips and haddock and chips.
For a shoot in a place like West Tisted, tracks and soft ground need checking. We bring the van and everything we need to cook, and we leave the pitch tidy when we go.

- A quote that spells everything out
- Classic food your crew already know
- We cover West Tisted and the whole of Hampshire
See our prices page and the cost guide.
How we price a fish and chip van for the crew
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, depending on:
- Cod, haddock or both
- How far we travel
- Any minimum charge
- How many people are eating
Distance and any road charges make a difference, so it helps to give us the postcode.
What to tell us
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what’s useful:
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Where the event is
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many people, along with your serving time, and you will get a clear price. To get started, fill in our quote form.
Planning the van’s spot
A good parking spot makes the whole thing easier. We need:
- Far enough from set to keep noise down
- Level, firm ground at base
- Space in front of the hatch
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.
Popular choices
- Sausage and chips
- Cod and chips
- Crew lunches
- Haddock and chips
- Mushy peas
- Pie and chips
Takeaway run or book a van?

For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
