About our film set catering in Winchfield Hurst
On a long shoot day, a good hot lunch keeps morale up. We park at the unit base and cook to order. We serve haddock and chips, pie and chips and mushy peas, and we are frequently booked for crew treats on long shoot days and unit base lunches.
Near Winchfield Hurst, crews may be miles from anywhere to eat, so a van at base is a big help. We keep the menu short: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Takeaway rarely reaches a location hot. The van cooks on site. Got a budget? Let us know, and we will suggest how to make it work. Keeping the menu short is generally the best value.

What affects the price in Winchfield Hurst
Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- Parking and the way in
- Cod, haddock or both
- Distance and any road charges
- How many people are eating
Most vans have a minimum charge, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. Ask us what applies to your shoot.
Getting an accurate quote
Good planning starts with a few facts. Try to include:
- A photo of the space and the way in
- The venue or postcode
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- Your date and serving time
We only need a few details to quote: the date, where the van would park, roughly how many people and when you’d like to eat. To send them, use our quote form.
How the day works
Nothing gathers a crowd like the smell of fish and chips. Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, with chips cooked in batches as the queue moves. Daylight is short on winter shoots near Winchfield Hurst: sunset is about 3:55pm, so lunch at base is often in daylight but a wrap meal isn’t.
- First, tell us about your shoot.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for the crew.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
Getting a price
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: the parking spot, access, numbers and serving time. A picture of the spot helps too. To send your details, fill in our quote form.

Allergies and dietary needs

- Share the base location and route
- Collect diets and allergies with crew details
- Agree the waste plan with locations
- Have a back-up for special diets
After service, we pack up and get out of the way.
