About our film set catering in Awbridge
The van needs level, firm ground at the unit base, and a route the van can manage. Typical bookings include commercials and music videos and outside broadcasts, with cod and chips, haddock and chips and pie and chips.
Near Awbridge, check tracks and ground for the van with locations. 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.
Diets, allergies and planning
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Have a back-up for special diets
- Send final numbers the day before
- Give us a map or what3words for base
- Make sure we can reach locations on the day
We arrive at base in good time and set up.
End the shoot with a chip van wrap.
What happens on the day
You don’t need to do much on the day: show us the spot, tell us when to start, and enjoy your shoot. The frying and serving are down to us. Daylight is short on winter shoots near Awbridge: sunset is about 4:00pm, so lunch at base is often in daylight but a wrap meal isn’t.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive in good time to set up.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.
Before we arrive
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Plan where the queue will stand
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park

Should I sort the food myself?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your crew instead.
Awbridge: your questions answered
What’s the nearest station to Awbridge?
Mottisfont & Dunbridge station, about 1.5 miles north of the centre.
Is Awbridge too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Do we need to provide equipment?
All the cooking happens in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site and we will confirm what we need.
Can you work to the call sheet?
We expect changes. Keep us updated and we will adapt.
What if we only have street parking?
It depends on the road. Off-road parking is usually simpler; for the street, check the council’s rules.
How much does a fish and chip van for the crew cost in Awbridge?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and travel. Send us the details for a quote.
Can you park at the unit base?
Typically, if there’s level, firm ground. Locations will decide where.
Is the food cooked at the event?
It is. The fryers are in the van, so it’s fried on the spot, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
Is a fish and chip van right for your shoot?
Takeaway rarely reaches a location hot. The van cooks on site. Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so it helps to give us the postcode.
