How our film set catering works in Gossops Green
The van needs level, firm ground at the unit base, and a clear route in. On the menu are haddock and chips, sausage and chips and cod and chips, and we’re often booked for crew morale days and commercials and music videos.
Shoots around Gossops Green frequently use houses, farms and lanes. Tell us about the route to base. We serve from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and service is quick once we’re up and running.

FAQs for Gossops Green
Could you trade in Target Hill Park?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Check with them first.
How far is Gossops Green from London?
About 27 miles from central London, and well within our area.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. We’ll talk it through when we quote.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes. We cook inside the van, so food is cooked there and then, rather than made in advance.
Do you do anything other than fish?
Yes: sausages and pies, with chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.
What if lunch moves?
We expect changes. Keep us updated and we will adapt.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Not as standard: batter is normally made with wheat flour. Let us know and we’ll tell you what we can do.
Can you serve children?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Let us know numbers, and we’ll include them in the plan.
Planning for dietary needs
We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer. To get it right:
- Send allergies to us in writing
- Make sure we can reach locations on the day
- Add an allergy question to crew forms
- Give us a map or what3words for base
Fewer choices mean faster service.
Tables or a marquee at base make lunch comfortable.
