Film set catering in Adversane, fried fresh
On a long shoot day, a good hot lunch keeps morale up. A fish and chip van parks at the unit base and fries to order. For shoots on location and seaside shoots, we can cook pie and chips, haddock and chips and mushy peas for your guests.
For a shoot in a place like Adversane, tracks and soft ground need checking with locations. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer before booking.

How we price a fish and chip van for the crew
There are no hidden charges: the quote reflects:
- The day of the week
- Whether a minimum applies
- Service time
- Parking and the way in
Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so it helps to give us the postcode.

A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what’s useful:
- The spot you have in mind for the van
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
- Expected numbers
- A picture of where the van would go
The quickest way to a quote is to send us your details through our quote form. Give us the details of your shoot, and we’ll check the date and send a price.

With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. We suggest:
- Confirm numbers the day before
- Flag any coeliac crew

Adversane: your questions answered
What’s the nearest station to Adversane?
Billingshurst station, about 1.5 miles north-east of the centre.
How far is Adversane from London?
About 38 miles from central London, and well within our area.
What if the weather’s bad?
We carry on in the rain, because the cooking happens inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
Do you have allergen information?
Let us know about allergies in advance, and we’ll give you the allergen information.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes. Everything is fried fresh in the van, and serve straight from the hatch.
Can the van park on grass?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and we’ll advise.
How fast is service?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Give us your numbers and service window, and we will plan service around it.
How much does a fish and chip van for the crew cost in Adversane?
Every booking is quoted individually, so the price fits what you need. Give us your date, numbers and serving time and we’ll reply with a price.
Takeaway run or book a van?
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
A closer look at the menu
Haddock and chips
Haddock has loyal fans: a firmer flake and a sweeter taste. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.
Sausage and chips
A sausage and chips is the chip-shop classic for younger crew and fish-dodgers, especially with curry sauce.
Events we cater in Adversane
It’s ideal for short jobs.
The van suits big events and small ones. Typical bookings include:
- Crew morale days
- Commercials and music videos
- Live events and broadcasts
- Period dramas on location
Nearby historic houses include Old Place Manor (3.2 miles south-west). Period locations like these usually keep vehicles well away from the house, so agree the base early.

Is a fish and chip van right for your shoot?

- It starts with the unit base, dates and numbers.
- You get an access check and a quote.
- We arrange the van’s spot at the unit base with locations.
- We set up at the unit base and fry to order for the lunch break.
