Cote: your questions answered
What’s the nearest station to Cote?
Durrington-On-Sea station, about 1.8 miles south of the centre.
What about events near the coast?
Yes. The cooking is inside the van, so wind does not affect it, but the queue will want shelter.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes, always. We fry to order in the van at your venue, then handed over hot from the hatch.
What do we need to supply?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Mention any power or water available and we’ll confirm the rest.
How long are you on site?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
Can the van park on grass?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and we’ll advise.
How fast is service?
A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. We’ll talk it through when we quote.
Can you feed supporting artists too?
Yes. Just tell us who counts.
Film set catering in Cote, cooked to order
On a long job, a chip van day is a morale boost. Popular choices include cod and chips, haddock and chips and pie and chips, and typical bookings are for fashion shoots on location and music video shoots.
Rural locations near Cote can be a long way from food, so a van at base is a big help. Everything is fried fresh at your shoot, not cooked earlier and kept warm, and served the moment it comes out of the fryer.

The menu, dish by dish
Haddock and chips
Some people swear by haddock: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Tell us if you’d like to offer it.
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are made from dried marrowfat peas, soaked and cooked until soft. They’re the side most people expect.
Allergies and dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs and allergies early, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible. To get it right:
- Confirm numbers the day before
- Share the base location and route
- Collect diets and allergies with crew details
- Name a contact in the production office
We arrive at base in good time and set up.
A dining area at base helps.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
