Film set catering for Crockerhill events
Your questions about a fish and chip van for the crew in Crockerhill
What about events near the coast?
Yes. Wind does not affect the fryers, but plan a sheltered spot for the queue.
What’s the nearest station to Crockerhill?
Barnham station, about 2.7 miles south-east of the centre.
How much space do you need?
Not much: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, that the van can reach easily. If in doubt, send a picture.
What about crew who don’t eat fish?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Tell us about other diets and we’ll tell you what we can offer.
Can you work to the call sheet?
We can. Tell us the lunch time and a contact on the day, and we will work around changes where we can.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes. We fry to order in the van at your venue, and serve straight from the hatch.
What if we only have street parking?
That depends on local parking rules. A drive, car park or yard is normally easier; for the street, check the council’s rules.
How much is fish and chip van hire?
We quote for each booking, based on your numbers and timings. Tell us your date and rough numbers and we’ll reply with a price.
About our film set catering in Crockerhill
Call times change, so a contact on the day helps and we’ll work around it. Popular choices include mushy peas, pie and chips and sausage and chips, and we’re regularly asked to cater treat days on a long shoot and photo shoots.
Near Crockerhill, crews may be miles from anywhere to eat, so lunch at base matters. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your shoot, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.

How the day works
Serving is straightforward: everything is handed over hot from the hatch. Afterwards we pack up. Winter shoots near Crockerhill chase the light, which goes at about 4:00pm in December, so lunch at base is often in daylight but a wrap meal isn’t.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for the crew.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Before we arrive
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Share the timings for the day
How to get a price
We quote for each event separately, so the price fits what you actually need. To ask for one, send us your details through our quote form.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.
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.

What a fish and chip van costs
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, depending on:
- How many people are eating
- The day of the week
- How far we travel
- The menu and how many choices
The cost per head generally falls as numbers rise, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.
