Film set catering in Flansham, fried fresh
We work with your location manager or production office on access, parking and timings. We serve sausage and chips, haddock and chips and pie and chips, and we’re often booked for commercials and music videos and crew morale days.
Rural locations near Flansham can be a long way from food, so a van at base is a big help. The menu is short on purpose: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.

Flansham questions
Which station is closest to Flansham?
The closest is Barnham station, roughly 1.9 miles away.
Can the van park in The Brooks Local Nature Reserve?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Can you cook in the rain?
We cook inside the van, so rain doesn’t stop us. Crew will appreciate cover near the hatch.
Do you have documents for productions?
Every production asks for different things, so send us the list.
How long will the queue be?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Give us your numbers and service window, and we’ll plan service around it.
Do you have allergen information?
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.
Can you adjust to schedule changes?
We can. Give us a contact for changes, and we will adjust where possible.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Tell us about coeliac crew when you enquire, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible.
Looking after everyone
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Here’s how:
- Tell us about coeliac crew specifically
- Give us a map or what3words for base
- Ask for dietary needs on the crew info form
- Name a contact in the production office
We work to the lunch time on the call sheet, with a contact for changes.
Plan bins at the unit base.
A closer look at the menu
Mushy peas
No fish and chips is complete without mushy peas for many people.
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips covers anyone who does not want fish, and children love it.
How the day works
Setting up takes a little while, because the oil has to come up to temperature, so we are there in good time before you want to eat. Long summer days in Flansham, with light until about 9:20pm, suit evening wraps outdoors.
- First, tell us about your shoot.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for the crew.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.
Before we arrive
- Plan where the queue will stand
- Share the timings for the day
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.
