Film set catering in Codmore Hill, fried fresh
Food is fried to order, so it’s hot when the break is called. For commercials and music videos and crew lunches at base, we’ll put together a menu of sausage and chips, mushy peas and haddock and chips.
Near Codmore Hill, check tracks and ground for the van with locations. The menu is short on purpose: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.

A closer look at the menu
Sausage and chips
For anyone who doesn’t fancy fish, there’s sausage and chips, and children love it.
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it’s the favourite in much of the south. It is battered and fried to order, so it’s crisp when it reaches you.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
A chip van compared with other options
Next to a sandwich lunch, hot fish and chips is a real lunch. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and access to the site. Every booking gets its own quote.

Your questions about a fish and chip van for the crew in Codmore Hill
Do you come to venues in the South Downs National Park?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Is Codmore Hill close to London?
About 40 miles from central London.
How much space do you need?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, close to where people will eat, and space for a queue. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
Can you feed visitors on set?
Yes, include them in numbers. Tell us the day before.
How fast is service?
A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. We will talk it through when we quote.
What if the weather’s bad?
We carry on in the rain, because the cooking happens inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
