Questions from Dunsfold
What’s the nearest station to Dunsfold?
The closest is Witley station, roughly 3.8 miles away.
How far is Dunsfold from London?
Roughly 33 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Can you cater for allergies?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Send us any allergies in writing.
Do you do anything other than fish?
Yes: sausages and pies, with chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
Can the van park on the street?
It depends on the road. Off-road parking is generally simpler; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
What happens if it rains?
The weather doesn’t stop the van, because the cooking happens inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
Is there something for children?
Yes. Children typically love sausage and chips. Tell us how many are coming.
Do you take everything away?
We clear the van’s area after service. Let us know about bins for crew.
Film set catering in Dunsfold, fried fresh
Shoot days are long, and a hot lunch on time matters. We park at the unit base and cook to order. Popular choices include mushy peas, pie and chips and sausage and chips, and we’re frequently booked for crew lunches at base and seaside shoots.
Near Dunsfold, crews may be miles from anywhere to eat, so lunch at base matters. Your quote spells out what’s included: serving times, the menu and anything else agreed.
Organising for someone else?
Parks, greens and streets usually need permission for a catering van. Ask the council or landowner early.
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan service to match. Sending people up in groups helps.

The process
The smell of the fryers does the inviting. Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, with chips cooked in batches as the queue moves. In December, daylight in Dunsfold ends around 3:55pm, so a late lunch or wrap at base needs lighting. In summer, light lasts until about 9:20pm.
- We start with the location, call times and crew numbers.
- You get an access check and a quote.
- We arrange the van’s spot at the unit base with locations.
- We serve hot from the hatch when lunch is called.
- We clear up and get out of the way.
Before we arrive
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Share the timings for the day

About the food
Haddock and chips
Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. It is the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.
Pie and chips
Pie and chips gives people a filling alternative to fish.
Space, access and the venue
Before the day, we will agree where the van parks. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- A route in the van can manage, with no low branches or tight lanes
- Light near the van if needed
- A queue area clear of trucks
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Diets, allergies and planning
We take allergies seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Let us know about coeliac disease

A short menu keeps the line moving in a lunch break.
A gazebo by the van keeps the line dry.
Takeaway run or book a van?
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.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
- 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
