A chip van near Flishinghurst
Flishinghurst: your questions answered
Could you trade in Crane Valley?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Is Flishinghurst too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Can the van park on grass?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and send a photo if you can.
Can you park on the road outside?
It depends on the road. Off-road parking is generally simpler; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
How much space do you need?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, near your crew, with room for a queue at the hatch. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
Do you do wrap parties?
Yes, it’s a popular wrap. Send us the date and place.
Do you do anything other than fish?
We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we’ll be honest about what’s possible.
What paperwork do you provide?
Every production asks for different things, so ask your production office for the list.
About our film set catering in Flishinghurst
Call times change, so give us a contact on the day and we will work around it. On the menu are mushy peas, cod and chips and pie and chips, and typical bookings are for live events and broadcasts and crew treats on long shoot days.
For a shoot in a place like Flishinghurst, tracks and soft ground need checking. The menu is short on purpose: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.
How it works
We work to your timings. If the day runs behind, we hold off cooking until you are ready, so nothing is cooked before it’s needed. Light in Flishinghurst lasts until about 9:15pm at midsummer; for early or late service, base needs lighting.
- 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 cook to order through the crew’s lunch break.
- Afterwards we pack up and leave the unit base clean.
