About our film set catering in Framfield
Seaside and period locations suit a fish and chip van perfectly. We serve sausage and chips, pie and chips and haddock and chips, and we’re regularly asked to cater shoots on location and ad shoots.
Near Framfield, crews may be miles from anywhere to eat, so lunch at base matters. We cook inside the van, right where your crew are, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.

Organising for someone else?
Parks, greens and streets generally need permission for a catering van. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
If you are booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we’ll explain how it works. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.

What comes out of the fryer
Pie and chips
A pie and chips is proper comfort food, and it’s especially welcome on a cold day.
Haddock and chips
Some people swear by haddock: a firmer flake and a sweeter taste. Tell us if you’d like to offer it.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. Ask us for a quote and 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.

Do you take everything away?

The process
We arrive in good time before you want to eat, park the van and get the fryers going. Your crew can wander over to the hatch once service starts. On a winter shoot near Framfield, the light goes by about 3:55pm, so the unit base needs lighting for late service. In summer, light lasts until about 9:15pm.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check the route in and send a price.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.
Getting ready for the day
- Clear the route for the van
- Have a level parking spot ready
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
How to get a price
It’s easy to get a price: share your date, address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat. We’ll come back with a clear quote.

A fish and chip van or other catering?
Ordering takeaway to a location is unreliable. A van cooks at the unit base. Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. We set everything out in your quote.
Why book with us
- Classic food your crew already know
- No kitchen needed
- The classic sides: peas, curry sauce and gravy
- Events in Framfield and across East Sussex
