Film set catering in Almodington
Should I sort the food myself?
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.

Film set catering in Almodington, cooked to order
Everything is cooked as crew come up, so it is hot when the break is called. For crew treats on long shoot days and music video shoots, we can cook haddock and chips, sausage and chips and mushy peas.
For a shoot in a place like Almodington, tracks and soft ground need checking. Everything is fried fresh at your shoot, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet, and served the moment it comes out of the fryer.

Almodington questions
Is Almodington too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
What about events near the coast?
Yes, of course. Wind doesn’t affect the fryers, but plan a sheltered spot for the queue.
What food do you serve?
Proper fish and chips, plus sausage or pie and chips. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Of course. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Tell us how many are coming.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Tell us about any coeliac crew and we’ll explain the options.
Where do you take the van?
We cover London and the South East, West Sussex included. Find your area.
Do you have allergen information?
Tell us about allergies when you book, and we’ll give you the allergen information.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes, always. We fry to order in the van at your venue, and serve straight from the hatch.
Before you choose a spot
Plenty of places work for the van, but a few things matter:
- Away from the shooting area’s sound
- A level, firm spot at the unit base
- Light near the van if needed
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.

Central London is about 59 miles from Almodington, within easy reach for London-based crews. The coast is within about 4 miles of Almodington, and coastal unit bases can be exposed, so plan where crew will queue.

What happens on the day
When we arrive, we position the van, set up the hatch and get the fryers up to temperature. Once we are hot, we cook to order, timed around your shoot. On a winter shoot near Almodington, the light goes by about 4:00pm, so the unit base needs lighting for late service. Summer shoots have daylight until about 9:20pm.
- The production office sends us the location, dates, numbers and lunch time.
- We check the route and the unit base and send a price.
- We agree the van’s position and arrival with the location manager.
- We serve hot from the hatch when lunch is called.
- Afterwards we pack up and leave the unit base clean.
Getting ready for the day
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Keep space clear for crew at the hatch
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
