About our film set catering in Dragons Green
We need a level, firm spot at base, and a clear route in. On the menu are mushy peas, pie and chips and haddock and chips, and we are frequently booked for crew lunches at base and shoots on location.
Near Dragons Green, crews may be miles from anywhere to eat, so lunch at base matters. We cook inside the van, right where your crew are, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.

Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.

Dragons Green questions
What’s the nearest station to Dragons Green?
Billingshurst station, about 3.4 miles west of the centre.
Do you come out to small places like Dragons Green?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
How long does set-up take?
We get there in good time to set up. We’ll agree arrival and serving times with you.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Let us know about coeliac crew in advance, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible.
Where can the van park?
Less than you might think: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, that the van can reach easily. If in doubt, send a picture.

Every booking is quoted individually, based on your numbers and timings. Tell us your date and rough numbers for a clear quote.
Can you work to the call sheet?
We expect changes. Keep us updated and we’ll adapt.
What areas do you cover?
We take the van across London and the South East, including West Sussex. See all areas.
Planners, venues and businesses
For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can hold the date.
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. Ask the council or landowner early.
Space, access and the venue
We will be honest if a spot won’t work. The main points are:
- Permission for the van at base
- A route in the van can manage, with no low branches or tight lanes
- Room for the crew to queue
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

About the food
Curry sauce
Some people won’t eat chips without curry sauce, so we bring it along.
Gravy
A pot of gravy turns chips into comfort food.
Allergies and dietary needs
Nearly every event has some special diets. To look after them:
- Flag any coeliac crew
- Ask for dietary needs on the crew info form
- Share the base location and route
- Agree how the base is left
Lunch is planned around the call sheet, and a contact keeps us updated.
A dining area at base helps.
Step by step
Nothing is cooked before it is needed. Fish is battered and fried when people come up to the hatch, which is why it tastes like it does at the seaside. At midsummer, Dragons Green has light until about 9:20pm.
- First, tell us about your shoot.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
- We cook to order on the day for the crew.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
- Clear the route for the van
- Get permission for the van from the venue
