Film set catering for Bedham events
Should I sort the food myself?
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.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
Film set catering for your shoot in Bedham
Fried-to-order service suits a lunch break, with no kitchen needed on site. Typical bookings include commercials and music videos and event crews, with cod and chips, pie and chips and mushy peas.
For a shoot in a place like Bedham, tracks and soft ground need checking. The menu is short on purpose: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.

- A route in the van can manage, with no low branches or tight lanes

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.

What a fish and chip van costs
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- The date and time of year
- The number of meals
- The menu and how many choices
- How long we serve
A chip van often compares well with a plated meal, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. Ask us for a quote.
What to tell us
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
- Dietary needs, with numbers
- Where the event is
- The spot you have in mind for the van
Send us the date, the address or RH20 postcode and rough numbers, plus when you’d like to eat, and you’ll get a clear price. Just send us your details through our quote form.
Bedham questions
Which station is closest to Bedham?
The closest is Pulborough station, roughly 2.1 miles away.
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 work to whatever the site needs.

The pitch is left as we found it. Bins for crew are worth planning.

About the food
Haddock and chips
Some people swear by haddock: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it is what most people in the south ask for. It is battered and fried to order, so it’s crisp when it reaches you.
Step by step
Nothing is cooked before it is needed. Fish is battered and fried when people come up to the hatch, which is why it tastes like it does at the seaside. Light in Bedham lasts until about 9:20pm at midsummer; for early or late service, base needs lighting.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.
Before we arrive
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Let us know the serving time
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
Ask for a quote
Getting a quote is simple: share your date, address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat. We will send a clear quote that says what’s included.
