Fresh fish and chips in Broomershill

- First, tell us about your shoot.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
- We cook to order on the day for the crew.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.
Getting ready for the day
- Share the timings for the day
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
Getting a price
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, fill in our quote form.

About our film set catering in Broomershill
A chip van fits right in at seaside locations. Typical bookings include treat days on a long shoot and ad shoots, serving sausage and chips, cod and chips and pie and chips.
For a shoot in a place like Broomershill, tracks and soft ground need checking with locations. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your shoot, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.

Organising for someone else?
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan service to match. Sending people up in groups helps.
Parks, greens and streets usually need permission for a catering van. Ask the council or landowner early.
Common questions in Broomershill
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 follow the site rules.
How far is Broomershill from London?
About 41 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Do you do anything other than fish?
There is: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
Can you serve children?
Of course. Children usually love sausage and chips. Tell us how many are coming.
How fast is service?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Give us your numbers and service window, and we’ll plan to keep the queue moving.
Can the van come to our wrap?
Yes, and crews love it. Send us the date and place.
Can you work to the call sheet?
Yes. Tell us the lunch time and a contact on the day, and we’ll work around changes where we can.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes, always. Everything is fried fresh in the van, and serve straight from the hatch.
Diets, allergies and planning
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Try these:
- Ensure we can reach locations on the day
- Let us know about coeliac disease
- Confirm allergies by email
- Share the base location and route
After service, we pack up and get out of the way.
Plan bins at the unit base.
Should I sort the food myself?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Is a fish and chip van right for your shoot?
Ordering takeaway to a location is unreliable. The van cooks on site. Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so it helps to give us the postcode.
