Film set catering in Climping, fried fresh
A van can get a crew fed quickly within the lunch break, with no kitchen needed on site. On the menu are mushy peas, haddock and chips and sausage and chips, and typical bookings are for ad shoots and wrap celebrations.
Near Climping, crews may be miles from anywhere to eat, so a van at base is a big help. The menu is short on purpose: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.

Climping for film and TV crews
Climping is about 2 miles west of Littlehampton, in West Sussex. We take a fish and chip van for the crew to drives, car parks, yards and venues around Climping and nearby villages. We serve all 371 towns and villages in West Sussex. Our nearest city page is Brighton, about 19 miles away.
Within reach of Climping are historic houses such as Ecclesden Manor (4.7 miles east). Period locations like these normally keep vehicles well away from the house, so agree the base early. For cast and crew travelling by train, Littlehampton station is about 1.2 miles away.

With the sea within about 2 miles, coastal shoots need a sheltered base, so plan where crew will queue.

Your questions about a fish and chip van for the crew in Climping
Is Climping too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
What about events near the coast?
Yes, of course. The cooking is inside the van, so wind does not affect it, but the queue will want shelter.
Where can the van park?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, near your crew, and space for a queue. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
Do you cover Climping?
Yes. We take the van across London and the South East, including Climping and the rest of West Sussex. For a quote, send us your details through our quote form.
Where do you take the van?
We take the van across London and the South East, West Sussex included. Find your area.
Do you do wrap parties?
Yes. It is a great way to end a shoot.
Can you cater for allergies?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Send us any allergies in writing.
What does it cost to hire the van?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and travel. Tell us about your shoot and we’ll send a quote.

Should I sort the food myself?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.

Pie and chips
A pie and chips is proper comfort food, and it is a favourite in colder months.
