Film set catering for your shoot in Brede
Call times change, so give us a contact on the day and we’ll work around it. We are frequently asked to cater location shoots and photo shoots, with sausage and chips, pie and chips and haddock and chips.
For a shoot in a place like Brede, tracks and soft ground need checking with locations. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we will be straight with you about what we can do.

Shooting in Brede: unit bases and access
Brede is about 5 miles north of Hastings, in East Sussex. For shoots in Brede, we plan around your venue and timings: a quote, a parking spot and fresh frying on the day. We cover 289 places across East Sussex. You can also see our page for Brighton, about 32 miles away.
Crew coming by rail can use the station: the nearest station is Doleham station, about 1.2 miles south-east. Central London is about 49 miles from Brede, within easy reach for London-based crews. The coast is within about 6 miles of Brede, and coastal unit bases can be exposed, so plan where crew will queue.
We take the van to shoots all over TN31 and the streets around it. Local streets include Brede Hill and Stubb Lane; a shoot on any of them works well with a drive or nearby car park. For shoots just outside Brede, we cover Cackle Street (1 mile north), Westfield (2 miles south-west), Kent Street (3 miles south-west), Sedlescombe (3 miles west) and Mill Corner (3 miles north). Larger places within reach include Hastings (5 miles south), Bexhill-on-Sea (8 miles south-west), St Leonards (6 miles south), Hastings Old Town (5 miles south), Belmont (5 miles south) and Heathfield (15 miles west).
A little further out are Barn Theatre and Museum (2.5 miles south) and Conquest Hospital (3.5 miles south). Open spaces near Brede include Flatropers Wood and Senlac Hill.
- Pubs nearby include The Red Lion Public House (under half a mile north)
A chip van compared with other options
Wrap parties add up. A van keeps it relaxed and simple. Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so tell us exactly where your shoot is.
Why book with us
- Cod, haddock, sausages and pies
- Everything cooked to order at your event
- No kitchen, no crockery, no washing up
- A van that becomes part of the event
See our pricing and the cost guide.
Step by step
The van needs a level, firm spot it can drive onto, near your crew, and we agree exactly where before the day. Long summer days in Brede, with light until about 9:15pm, suit evening wraps outdoors.
- We start with a few details about your shoot.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for the crew.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.
How to prepare
- Let us know the serving time
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
How to get a price
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: the parking spot, access, numbers and serving time. A picture of the spot helps too. When you are ready, use our quote form.
Planning help
Planning the van’s spot
Every site is different, so we ask about the spot and the way in before we confirm. Generally, we look for:
- Lighting for early or late service
- Clear of the shot and sound
- Room for the crew to queue
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.
From the hatch
- Sausage and chips
- Haddock and chips
- Cod and chips
- Mushy peas
- Pie and chips
- Crew lunches
Prices and what affects them
Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:
- The length of service
- Parking and the way in
- The minimum booking
- The date and time of year
Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. Your quote spells it all out.
Details that help
Good planning starts with a few facts. Try to include:
- Dietary needs, with numbers
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
- The date and time of the event
- Where the van would park
It is easy to get a price: share your date, address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat. We’ll send a clear quote that says what’s included.
Organising for someone else?
Planning an event for a club, school or charity in Brede? Fish and chips is a reliable crowd-pleaser. Tell us about the event and we will take it from there.
For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can hold the date.
Planning for dietary needs
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. We suggest:
- Have a back-up for special diets
- Ask for dietary needs on the crew info form
- Put allergy details in writing
- Name a contact in the production office
We take our used oil and waste with us.
Tables or a marquee at base make lunch comfortable.
A closer look at the menu
Gravy
A pot of gravy turns chips into comfort food, especially in winter.
Curry sauce
The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, great with chips and sausages.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
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.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is generally simpler.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
