Film set catering for your shoot in Albourne Green
Shoot days are long, and a hot lunch on time matters. We park at the unit base and cook to order. Typical bookings include crew lunches at base and fashion shoots on location, with mushy peas, sausage and chips and cod and chips.
Near Albourne Green, crews may be miles from anywhere to eat, so lunch at base matters. We cook inside the van, right where your crew are, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.

Allergies and dietary needs
A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Here’s how:
- Plan bins and waste at base

- Flag any coeliac crew
- Arrange something for anyone with needs we can’t meet
We arrive at base in good time and set up, out of the way.
A gazebo by the van keeps the line dry.
Albourne Green questions
Is Albourne Green close to London?
About 39 miles from central London.
Can the van go to venues in the South Downs National Park?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We’ll follow the site rules.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. Tell us your timings and we will advise.
What happens if it rains?
The weather does not stop the van, because the fryers are inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
Do you have documents for productions?
Send us your supplier requirements.
Where does the van go on location?
Generally, with a level spot. We will agree the spot with your location manager.
How do you handle allergies?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Tell us about allergies in advance.
Which areas do you serve?
We take the van across London and the South East, including West Sussex. See all areas.

Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
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.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is usually simpler.
