A chip van near Funtington
About our film set catering in Funtington
Food is fried to order, so it is hot when the break is called. Typical bookings include crew treats on long shoot days and seaside and period locations, serving cod and chips, sausage and chips and haddock and chips.
Rural locations near Funtington can be a long way from food, so a van at base is a big help. We cook inside the van, right where your crew are, so the batter is still crisp when it’s handed over.

Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is normally the easier option.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the shoot.
Space, access and the venue
The right spot keeps everyone safe and the service smooth. We need:
- Access checked by locations
- The location’s agreement
- A level, firm spot at the unit base
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.

Funtington questions
Do you come to venues in the South Downs National Park?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We’ll follow the site rules.
Is Funtington close to London?
About 55 miles from central London.
Is the fish gluten-free?

Yes. Everything is fried fresh in the van, and serve straight from the hatch.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. We will talk it through when we quote.
Do you do wrap parties?
Yes, and crews love it. Send us the date and place.
Who clears up?
The pitch is left as we found it. Bins for crew are worth planning.
What does it cost to hire the van?
We quote for each booking, based on your numbers and timings. Tell us your date and rough numbers for a clear quote.
Looking after everyone
We take allergies seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Tell us about coeliac crew specifically
- Arrange something for anyone with needs we cannot meet
- Plan bins and waste at base
- Collect diets and allergies with crew details
We set up at the unit base ahead of lunch, out of the way.
Pre-orders from the crew help on tight breaks.
