Film set catering for your shoot in Domewood
On a long shoot day, a good hot lunch keeps morale up. A fish and chip van parks at the unit base and fries to order. For seaside shoots and outside broadcasts, we can cook haddock and chips, cod and chips and pie and chips for your guests.
Near Domewood, check tracks and ground for the van. Food is served straight from the hatch, so it’s hot and generous, and service is quick once we are up and running.

What happens on the day
We work to your timings. If things run late, we hold off cooking until you’re ready, so nothing is cooked before it’s needed. In December, daylight in Domewood ends around 3:55pm, so a late lunch or wrap at base needs lighting. Summer shoots have daylight until about 9:20pm.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A photo of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for the crew.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Getting ready for the day
- Get permission for the van from the venue
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue

Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.

Domewood: your questions answered
Which station is closest to Domewood?
The closest is East Grinstead station, roughly 2.9 miles away.
Can the van go to venues in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We’ll follow the site rules.
Do you have documents for productions?
Send us your supplier requirements.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.
Can you cook in the rain?
We carry on in the rain, because the fryers are inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
Can the van come to Domewood?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, and Domewood is within our area and the rest of West Sussex. To check your date, send us your details through our quote form.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
Typically, if it’s firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
How long does set-up take?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. We’ll agree arrival and serving times with you.
