How our film set catering works in Flowers Green
Location shoots, commercials and wrap parties all suit a chip van. On the menu are pie and chips, haddock and chips and sausage and chips, and we’re often booked for wrap celebrations and crew morale days.
Rural locations near Flowers Green can be a long way from food, so lunch at base matters. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your shoot, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.

A sausage and chips is the chip-shop classic for younger crew and fish-dodgers.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We’re happy to send a quote so you can compare.
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.
The process
Nothing gathers a crowd like the smell of fish and chips. Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, and chips are fried in batches through service. Daylight is short on winter shoots near Flowers Green: sunset is about 3:55pm, so lunch at base is frequently in daylight but a wrap meal isn’t.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.

- Your choice of menu
- Any minimum charge

- Parking and the way in
Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. Your quote spells it all out.

- Where the van would park
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- The date and time of the event
- Any dietary needs and allergies

Flowers Green questions
Is Flowers Green too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Which station is closest to Flowers Green?
Pevensey Bay station, about 4.4 miles south of the centre.
Do you need power or water?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Mention any power or water available and we’ll take it from there.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Of course. Children generally love sausage and chips. Tell us how many are coming.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes. We cook inside the van, so it’s fried on the spot, rather than made in advance.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. Tell us your timings and we will advise.
What paperwork do you provide?
Every production asks for different things, so send us the list.
Can you work to the call sheet?
We expect changes. A contact on the day is all we need.
A fish and chip van or other catering?
Ordering takeaway to a location is unreliable. A van cooks at the unit base. Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is often good value, as there is no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. Ask us for a quote.
Why us?
- All the chip-shop extras
- No kitchen needed
- No surprises in your quote
- Fish and chips fried fresh on site
