Film set catering in Force Green, cooked to order
A chip van is a popular crew treat on a long shoot. Whether it is period dramas on location and event crews, we will put together a menu of mushy peas, pie and chips and sausage and chips and more.
Shoots in Force Green frequently use streets, yards and car parks as unit bases. The location manager will arrange the van’s spot. Food is served straight from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and service is quick once we’re up and running.

What happens on the day
We take care of the food from arrival to the last chip, so you can enjoy your shoot. In December, daylight in Force Green ends around 3:55pm, so a late lunch or wrap at base needs lighting. In summer, light lasts until about 9:20pm.
- 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.
Getting ready for the day
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Give us a contact for the day

Planning help
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
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. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is typically the easier option.
Force Green questions
Is parking a problem for the van in Force Green?
London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We’ll plan around it.
What’s the nearest station to Force Green?
Oxted station, about 3.8 miles south-west of the centre.
What does it cost to hire the van?
We quote for each booking, so the price fits what you need. Give us your date, numbers and serving time and we will reply with a price.
Can you park on the road outside?
It depends on the road. Off-road parking is usually simpler; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
Is the fish gluten-free?
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 about crew who don’t eat fish?
Yes: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
How long does set-up take?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. We’ll agree arrival and serving times with you.
Do you clear up afterwards?
The pitch is left as we found it. Bins for crew are worth planning.
