Film set catering for Bewbush events

What comes out of the fryer

Pie and chips

For a heartier option, there’s pie and chips, perfect with gravy.

Mushy peas

Mushy peas are made from dried marrowfat peas, soaked and cooked until soft. They’re the classic side with fish and chips.

About our film set catering in Bewbush

A van can get a crew fed quickly within the lunch break, with no kitchen needed on site. We’re often asked to cater music video shoots and outside broadcasts, with sausage and chips, cod and chips and haddock and chips.

Shoots around Bewbush often use houses, farms and lanes. Let us know about access. You will know what’s included before booking: serving times, the menu and anything else agreed.

Prices and what affects them

Your quote will be clear. What affects it most:

  • Distance and any road charges
  • Any minimum charge
  • The date and time of year
  • How easy the site is to reach

There is no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. Your quote spells it all out.

Details that help

Here’s what makes a quick, accurate quote possible:

  • Your date and serving time
  • The spot you have in mind for the van
  • Allergies and diets you know about
  • A picture of the parking spot

We only need a few details to quote: the date, where the van would park, roughly how many people and when you’d like to eat. To send them, send us your details through our quote form.

Is a fish and chip van right for your shoot?

A wrap party at a venue costs more. A van makes a relaxed wrap. Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so tell us exactly where your shoot is.

What you get with us

  • No surprises in your quote
  • Bookings across West Sussex, including Bewbush
  • All the chip-shop extras
  • Cod, haddock, sausages and pies

Read how we price or our guide to van hire costs.

Before you choose a spot

Every site is different, so we will ask about yours before we confirm. In general, we need:

  • Far enough from set to keep noise down
  • A queue area clear of trucks
  • A hardstanding spot at the unit base

Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Organising for someone else?

If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can hold the date.

Venues frequently have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll work through them with you.

What happens on the day

When we arrive, we position the van, set up the hatch and get the fryers up to temperature. Then everything is fried to order, timed around your shoot. Sunset in Bewbush is about 8:50pm in late May, 9:20pm at midsummer and 7:05pm in late September; for dawn calls or late wraps, plan lighting at base.

  1. You share your date, numbers and address.
  2. We check the route in and send a price.
  3. We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
  4. Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
  5. Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us when you want to eat
  • Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
  • Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park

Getting a price
