Film set catering for Bepton events
How the day works
The first sign we have arrived is typically the smell, about the time the first crew wander across. After that, it is a steady flow to the hatch. Sunset in Bepton is about 8:55pm in late May, 9:20pm at midsummer and 7:05pm in late September; for early or late service, base needs lighting.
- Tell us what you are planning and when you’d like to eat.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
How to prepare
- Clear the route for the van
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Get permission for the van from the venue

Planning for dietary needs
A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Here’s how:
- Name a contact in the production office
- Flag any coeliac crew
- Arrange something for anyone with needs we cannot meet
- Give us a map or what3words for base
We clear up quickly after lunch.
A quick pre-order speeds things up.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your crew instead.

Common questions in Bepton
How far is Bepton from London?
About 48 miles from central London.
Do you come 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.
Can you work to the call sheet?
We expect changes. A contact on the day is all we need.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes. The fryers are in the van, so it is fried on the spot, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
Do you do anything other than fish?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Tell us about other diets and we’ll tell you what we can offer.
What does the van need?
Less than you might think: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, that the van can reach easily. If in doubt, send a photo.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
Usually, if it’s firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
What can crew choose from?
Fish and chips, of course, plus sausage or pie and chips. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.
Prices and what affects them
Your quote will be clear. The main things that affect it are:
- How easy the site is to reach

- Allergies and diets you know about
- 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 will come back with availability and a quote.
