Film set catering for your shoot in East Clandon

What affects the price in East Clandon
There is nothing hidden: the price is based on:
- The date and time of year
- How far we travel
- The minimum booking
- Service time
Distance and any road charges make a difference, so it helps to give us the postcode.
What to tell us
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- Anything awkward about the way in
- The venue or postcode
- A picture of the parking spot
- Where you’d like the van to go
It’s easy to get a price: tell us the date, place, numbers and serving time. We’ll come back with a clear quote.
Looking after everyone
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Give us a map or what3words for base
- Agree the waste plan with locations
- Put allergy details in writing
- Update numbers if they change
Supporting artists and visitors can be included in numbers.
Tables or a marquee at base make lunch comfortable.
Takeaway run or book a van?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is typically simpler.
Organising for someone else?
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan service to match. Staggering groups helps a lot.
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll work through them with you.

What comes out of the fryer
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it is what most people in the south ask for. We batter it and fry it to order, so it is crisp when it reaches you.
East Clandon: your questions answered
What’s the nearest station to East Clandon?
The closest is Clandon station, roughly 1.1 miles away.
Is East Clandon too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
No, not as standard: batter is typically made with wheat flour. Let us know and we will tell you what we can do before booking.
What’s on the menu?
Fish and chips, of course, with sausages and pies for anyone who does not want fish. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.
What if we only have street parking?
It depends on the road. Off-road parking is typically simpler; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We clear the van’s area after service. Let us know about bins for crew.
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. Tell us about allergies in advance.
What paperwork do you provide?
Tell us what the production needs and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
