About our film set catering in Whiteley Bank
Shoot days are long, and a hot lunch on time matters. A fish and chip van parks at the unit base and fries to order. Whether it’s crew treats on long shoot days and photo shoots, we will put together a menu of cod and chips, sausage and chips and mushy peas.
For a shoot in a place like Whiteley Bank, tracks and soft ground need checking with locations. We cook inside the van, right where your crew are, so the batter is still crisp when it is handed over.

Questions from Whiteley Bank
Which station is closest to Whiteley Bank?
The closest is Shanklin station, roughly 1.9 miles away.
Is Whiteley Bank too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Do you need power or water?
Tell us what’s available at the site in your enquiry, and we will say what we need.
What happens if it rains?
The weather does not stop the van, because the fryers are inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
Where does the van go on location?
Yes, wherever locations agree.
Do you take everything away?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.
Do you have documents for productions?
Tell us what the production needs and we will confirm what we can provide.
Can you serve children?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Let us know numbers, and we will plan for them.
Prices and what affects them
These are the factors that matter most:
- Your choice of menu
- How easy the site is to reach
- How long we serve
- Whether a minimum applies
There is no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. Your quote spells it all out.
Getting an accurate quote
To check availability and price, we need:
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- Where the event is
- Expected numbers
- A picture of the space and the way in

Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is normally the easier option.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the shoot.
How it works
Serving is straightforward: everything is handed over hot from the hatch, and people can eat where they like. Afterwards we pack up. Sunset in Whiteley Bank is about 8:55pm in late May, 9:20pm at midsummer and 7:10pm in late September; for dawn calls or late wraps, plan lighting at base.
- It starts with the unit base, dates and numbers.
- We check access and send a quote.
- We agree the van’s position and arrival with the location manager.
- We set up at the unit base and fry to order for the lunch break.
- Afterwards we pack up and leave the unit base clean.
How to prepare
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Have a level parking spot ready
- Clear the route for the van
Getting a price
