About our film set catering in Findon
Locations and the production office can deal with us directly. Typical bookings include shoots on location and crew morale days, with pie and chips, haddock and chips and cod and chips.
For a shoot in a place like Findon, tracks and soft ground need checking. Food is served straight from the hatch, so it is hot and generous, and service is quick once we’re up and running.

Crew catering near Findon
Findon is about 3 miles north of Worthing, in West Sussex. Shoots in Findon are planned around your venue and timings: a quote, a parking spot and fresh frying on the day. We cover 371 places in West Sussex. You can also see our page for Brighton, about 12 miles away.
For crew arriving by train, the closest railway station is West Worthing station, roughly 3.4 miles south of the centre. Findon is roughly 46 miles from central London. The South Downs National Park is within about 7 miles of Findon, so check vehicle rules with locations. With the sea within about 5 miles, coastal shoots need a sheltered base.
We cover shoots in every part of BN14 and the streets around it. We can serve a shoot on streets such as High Street, Southview Road and Summerfields or the roads around them, wherever the van can park. Nearby, we also serve shoots in High Salvington (1 mile south), Cote (2 miles south), Durrington (2 miles south), Clapham (2 miles south-west) and Patching (2 miles south-west). Larger places within reach include Horsham (14 miles north), Worthing (3 miles south), Bognor Regis (13 miles south-west), Burgess Hill (14 miles north-east), Littlehampton (7 miles south-west) and Shoreham-by-Sea (6 miles east).

Prices and what affects them
There’s nothing hidden: the price is based on:
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- Service time
- Your choice of menu
- How many people are eating
Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is often good value, as there’s no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. We’ll send you a quote.
What we need to know
These details help us quote quickly:
- Dietary needs, with numbers
- The venue or postcode

For planners, venues and organisers
Venues frequently have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll work through them with you.
Organising a club, school or community event in Findon? Fish and chips is a reliable crowd-pleaser. Tell us about the event and we’ll take it from there.
Takeaway run or book a van?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the shoot.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
Allergies and dietary needs
Nearly every event has some special diets. To look after them:
- Update numbers if they change
- Ask for dietary needs on the crew info form
- Send allergies to us in writing
- Agree the waste plan with locations
Lunch is planned around the call sheet, with a contact for changes.
Cover near the hatch helps on wet days.

FAQs for Findon
What about events near the coast?
Yes, of course. Wind doesn’t affect the fryers, but plan a sheltered spot for the queue.
Is Findon too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Do you come to Findon?
Yes, we do. Findon is one of the places we cover. Tell us your date and we will check availability.
How much space do you need?
Less than you might think: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, with a clear way in. If in doubt, send a picture.
What happens if it rains?
We cook inside the van, so rain does not stop us. Crew will appreciate cover near the hatch.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
Can you cater for allergies?
Let us know about allergies in advance, and we’ll give you the allergen information.
Do you need power or water?
Tell us what’s available at the site when you enquire, and we’ll confirm what we need.
