Film set catering for your shoot in Winchester
Schedules move, so give us a contact on the day and we’ll adjust where we can. Typical bookings include fashion shoots on location and seaside shoots, with haddock and chips, sausage and chips and pie and chips.
Winchester has plenty of locations, from streets to industrial sites. The van needs level ground at the unit base. We cook inside the van, right where your crew are, so the batter is still crisp when it is handed over.
Food your guests will love
Curry sauce
Some people won’t eat chips without curry sauce, so we bring it along.
Sausage and chips
A sausage and chips is the chip-shop classic for younger crew and fish-dodgers.
Planning for dietary needs
Nearly every event has some special diets. To plan for them:
- Ask for dietary needs on the crew info form
- Agree how the base is left
- Put allergy details in writing
- Arrange something for anyone with needs we cannot meet
We take our used oil and waste with us.
Cover near the hatch helps on wet days.
How we price a fish and chip van for the crew
There are no hidden charges: the price is based on:
- How easy the site is to reach
- Cod, haddock or both
- The minimum booking
- The number of meals
When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: hours, menu, travel, minimum charge and VAT. We set ours out clearly.
Getting an accurate quote
These details help us quote quickly:
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Where you’d like the van to go
- Roughly how many people, including children
- Anything awkward about the way in
We only need a few details to quote: date, address, numbers and serving time. To send them, send us your details through our quote form.

Winchester questions
Which station is closest to Winchester?
Winchester station, about 0.6 miles north of the centre.
Can the van park in St. Cross Park?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Can the van park on grass?
It depends on the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and send a picture if you can.
Can you cook in the rain?
Rain doesn’t stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. It’s worth planning some cover for the queue.
What paperwork do you provide?
Every production asks for different things, so send us the list and we’ll go through it.
How fast is service?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we will plan service around it.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Yes. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Include children in your numbers.
Can you work to the call sheet?
Schedules move, and we plan for it. Keep us updated and we will adapt.
