A chip van near Cramhurst
Your questions about a fish and chip van for the crew in Cramhurst
Can the van park in Rodborough Common?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Check with them first.
Do you come to venues in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We will follow the site rules.
Do you bring everything you need?
The van comes fully equipped to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.
What food do you serve?
Proper fish and chips, plus sausage or pie and chips. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.
How much space do you need?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, near your crew, and space for a queue. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
Can the van come to base?
Usually, with a level spot. Locations will decide where.
How long will the queue be?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Give us your numbers and service window, and we’ll plan to keep the queue moving.
Do we need to provide anything?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Mention any power or water available and we will take it from there.
About our film set catering in Cramhurst
Fried-to-order service suits a lunch break, with no kitchen needed on site. Typical bookings include treat days on a long shoot and music video shoots, serving haddock and chips, cod and chips and mushy peas.
Rural locations near Cramhurst can be a long way from food, so a van at base is a big help. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, not cooked earlier and kept warm, and served the moment it comes out of the fryer.

If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.
Popular choices
- Pie and chips
- Haddock and chips
- Cod and chips

Looking after everyone
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Try these:
- Agree the waste plan with locations
- Confirm allergies by email
- Send final numbers the day before
- Arrange something for anyone with needs we cannot meet
Fewer choices mean faster service in a lunch break.
Tables or a marquee at base make lunch comfortable.

There is nothing hidden: the quote reflects:
- How long we serve
- Parking and the way in
- Whether a minimum applies
- Distance and any road charges
The cost per head generally falls as numbers rise, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
Details that help
To check availability and price, we need:
- Where the van would park
- Your date and serving time
- The address or venue name
- Rough numbers for adults and children
Every quote is worked out for your event. Start with your date, and we will check availability right away.

- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- We leave the spot as we found it.

Takeaway run or book a van?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your crew instead.
