About our film set catering in Furzedown
On a long job, a chip van day is a morale boost. On the menu are pie and chips, mushy peas and haddock and chips, and we’re regularly asked to cater outside broadcasts and end-of-shoot parties.
In Furzedown, access to base can be tight, so send us the route and restrictions. Food is served straight from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and the queue keeps moving.

Furzedown: your questions answered
What about parking in Furzedown?
It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We’ll plan around it.
Can the van park in Figge's Marsh?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Tell us about coeliac crew when you enquire, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible.
How do you handle allergies?
Tell us about allergies when you book, and we will give you the allergen information.
Can you cook in the rain?
We carry on in the rain, because the fryers are inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Children are very welcome. Tell us how many children, and we’ll plan for them.
What if lunch moves?
We can. Tell us the lunch time and a contact on the day, and we will adjust where possible.
What food do you serve?
Proper fish and chips, with sausages and pies for anyone who does not want fish. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
Allergies and dietary needs
Allergies are taken seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Plan bins and waste at base
- Ask for dietary needs on the crew info form
- Let us know about coeliac disease
- Update numbers if they change
We take our used oil and waste with us.
Tables or a marquee at base make lunch comfortable.
Before you choose a spot
The right spot keeps everyone safe and the service smooth. We need:
- A queue area clear of trucks
- Light near the van if needed
- Permission for the van at base

What a fish and chip van costs
Fish and chip van pricing is simple once we know the basics:
- Your choice of menu
- Distance and any road charges
- How many people are eating
- Access and parking
The cost per head usually falls as numbers rise, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.
What to tell us
For a quote, it helps to have:
- A photo of the space and the way in
- Where the van would park
- Roughly how many people, including children
- Anything awkward about the way in
The quickest way to a quote is to send us your details through our quote form. Give us the details of your shoot, and we’ll come back with availability and a quote.

- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
For a crew lunch people will remember, a chip van is hard to beat in Furzedown. Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. Ask us what applies to your shoot.
Why book with us
- We cook inside the van, whatever the weather
- Cod, haddock, sausages and pies
- A van that becomes part of the event
- A quote that spells everything out
Should I sort the food myself?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is usually simpler.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
