Film set catering in Wroxall

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet

A wrap party at a venue costs more. A van keeps it relaxed and simple. Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. Your quote spells it all out.

About our film set catering in Wroxall

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. We are often asked to cater end-of-shoot parties and treat days on a long shoot, serving cod and chips, pie and chips and haddock and chips.

Near Wroxall, check tracks and ground for the van. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we’ll be straight with you about what we can do.

Looking after everyone

Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Here’s how:

Send the unit base address and directions
Name a contact in the production office
Send final numbers the day before
Agree how the base is left

Used oil leaves with the van.

Tables or a marquee at base make lunch comfortable.

Prices and what affects them

Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:

Travel, tolls and road charges
Whether a minimum applies
The date and time of year
Access and parking

Got a budget? Let us know, and we’ll suggest a menu and timing to match. A short menu is frequently the best value.

What to tell us

To speed things up, tell us:

Where you’d like the van to go
Expected numbers
Allergies and diets you know about
Where the event is

The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: the parking spot, access, numbers and serving time. A photo of the spot helps too. When you are ready, use our quote form.

Before you choose a spot

Before the day, we will agree where the van parks. It needs to tick a few simple boxes:

Far enough from set to keep noise down
A hardstanding spot at the unit base
A clear route to base

Wroxall is a more remote spot, so tell us early and we will plan the journey.

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

How it works

We need a level, firm place to park the van, close to where people will eat, and we agree exactly where before the day. Long summer days in Wroxall, with light until about 9:20pm, suit evening wraps outdoors.

Send us your date, numbers and address.
We check the route in and send a price.
We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we are done.

Getting ready for the day

Plan where the queue will stand
Make sure the van can get in
Confirm the van is allowed on site

How to get a price

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. You can fill in our quote form.

Questions from Wroxall

What about events near the coast?

Yes. The cooking is inside the van, so wind doesn’t affect it, but the queue will want shelter.

What’s the nearest station to Wroxall?

Shanklin station, about 2.2 miles north-east of the centre.

What if we only have street parking?

Only where it’s legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Check with your council first.

Can the van come to base?

Typically, with a level spot. Locations will decide where.

Do we need to provide anything?

Let us know about power and water at the site in your enquiry, and we’ll say what we need.

What if the weather’s bad?

We carry on in the rain, because the cooking happens inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.

Is everything cooked fresh?

Yes. Everything is fried fresh in the van, and serve straight from the hatch.

How do you handle allergies?

Let us know about allergies in advance, and we’ll give you the allergen information.

DIY versus a fish and chip van

Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.

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.

What comes out of the fryer

Sausage and chips

Sausage and chips is the go-to for anyone who isn’t a fish fan, especially with curry sauce.

Haddock and chips

Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.

Wroxall for film and TV crews

Wroxall is about 7 miles south-east of Newport, in the Isle of Wight. For shoots in Wroxall, we can park on a drive, a car park, a yard or firm, dry grass. Wroxall is one of 125 towns and villages in the Isle of Wight where we bring the van. We serve events right across the region, from Wroxall to Southampton (about 22 miles away).

The B3327 give trucks and the van a straightforward route to Wroxall. Nearby historic houses include Rylstone Manor (2.2 miles east) and Haseley Manor (3.5 miles north). Historic houses are popular locations, and most set strict rules for vehicles, so plan the unit base with locations. The coast is within about 2 miles of Wroxall, and coastal unit bases can be exposed, so plan where crew will queue.

For shoots in PO38, we just need to know where the van can park and a serving time. Streets in the area include Station Road, High Street and St Martins Road, and the van can serve a shoot on any of them with a suitable parking spot. Main roads around Wroxall include the B3327, so getting the van to your shoot is simple. For shoots just outside Wroxall, we cover Whiteley Bank (1 mile north), Sandford (1 mile north-west), Nettlecombe (2 miles south-west), Princelett (2 miles north) and Godshill (2 miles north-west). Further out, we also take the van to Newport (7 miles north-west), Ryde (8 miles north), Cowes (10 miles north), Sandown (4 miles north-east), East Cowes (10 miles north) and Oakfield (8 miles north). Remote sites take a little more planning, so contact us in good time.

Other landmarks nearby include Sandown Castle (4.3 miles north-east) and South Wight (1.5 miles south-east). Open spaces near Wroxall include Stenbury Down and Alverstone Mead.

Local schools include The Island Free School (1.2 miles south)
Pubs nearby include The Worsley pub (within half a mile south-west)

Working with your venue

For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Sending people up in groups helps.

If you’re booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we’ll explain how it works. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
