Film set catering in Bramber, cooked to order
On a long job, a chip van day is a morale boost. On the menu are cod and chips, haddock and chips and sausage and chips, and we’re regularly asked to cater shoots on location and treat days on a long shoot.
Rural locations near Bramber can be a long way from food, so lunch at base matters. We cook inside the van, right where your crew are, so the batter is still crisp when it is handed over.

FAQs for Bramber
Which station is closest to Bramber?

How far is Bramber from London?
Roughly 43 miles from the centre of London.
Can you feed visitors on set?
Yes, include them in numbers. Tell us the day before.
How long will the queue be?
Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. Tell us your timings and we’ll advise.
Where can the van park?
Less than you might think: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, that the van can reach easily. If in doubt, send a photo.
Do you take everything away?
The pitch is left as we found it. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
How do you handle allergies?
Tell us about allergies when you book, and we will tell you what’s in each item and what we can offer.
Do you do wrap parties?
Yes, it is a popular wrap. Send us the date and place.
The process
The first sign we have arrived is normally the smell. After that, it is a steady flow to the hatch. Light in Bramber lasts until about 9:20pm at midsummer; for dawn calls or late wraps, plan lighting at base.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A photo of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for the crew.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
How to prepare
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Clear the route for the van

Should I sort the food myself?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is typically the easier option.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
