Film set catering in Green Street, cooked to order
Location shoots, commercials and wrap parties all suit a chip van. For stills shoots and wrap celebrations, we’ll put together a menu of mushy peas, haddock and chips and sausage and chips.
For a shoot in a place like Green Street, tracks and soft ground need checking with locations. We keep the menu short: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.

How it works
Here’s how the day typically runs: the van arrives and we set up, the fryers heat up, and we serve hot from the hatch at the agreed time. Winter shoots near Green Street chase the light, which goes at about 3:55pm in December.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- Show us where the van would go, and we’ll confirm it works.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for the crew.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Getting ready for the day
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Let us know the serving time

Green Street for film and TV crews
Green Street is about 2 miles west of Hastings, in East Sussex. Give us the address of your shoot in Green Street, and we will plan the route and the parking spot. We take the van to 289 places across East Sussex, from the larger towns to small villages. Our nearest city page is Brighton, about 28 miles away.
Historic houses near Green Street include Durhamford Manor (4.4 miles north). Period locations like these typically keep vehicles well away from the house, so agree the base early. Central London is about 50 miles from Green Street. The coast is within about 4 miles of Green Street, and coastal unit bases can be exposed, so plan where crew will queue.

Close by, we cover shoots in Crowhurst (1 mile north-west), Hollington (2 miles east), Bulverhythe (2 miles south), Silverhill (2 miles east) and Baldslow (2 miles north-east).

For planners, venues and organisers
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can hold the date.
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Sending people up in groups helps.

Diets, allergies and planning
A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Try these:
- Plan an alternative for anyone we can’t cater for
- Collect diets and allergies with crew details
- Send allergies to us in writing
- Plan bins and waste at base
A short menu keeps the line moving in a lunch break.
A gazebo by the van keeps the line dry.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Compared with sandwiches on set, a chip van gives the crew a proper hot meal. There’s no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. We set everything out in your quote.
Why us?
- Works on wet days as well as sunny ones
- Bookings across East Sussex, including Green Street
- The classic sides: peas, curry sauce and gravy
- Hot food handed straight over
What the van needs
Most drives, car parks, yards and firm lawns can take the van, but there are a few things to check:
- Room for the crew to queue
- A level, firm spot at the unit base
- Agreement from the location manager and landowner

Common questions in Green Street
Could you trade in Filsham Reedbed?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Can you serve near the sea around Green Street?
Yes, of course. The cooking is inside the van, so wind doesn’t affect it, but the queue will want shelter.
Can you feed visitors on set?
Yes. Just tell us who counts.
How do you handle allergies?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Send us any allergies in writing.
Who clears up?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.
Can you work to the call sheet?
Schedules move, and we plan for it. A contact on the day is all we need.
What areas do you cover?
We cover London and the South East, East Sussex included. See all areas.
Do we need to provide equipment?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.
How we price a fish and chip van for the crew
The same numbers can mean different prices, depending on:
- The date and time of year
- How easy the site is to reach
- Service time
- Distance and any road charges
The cost per head typically falls as numbers rise, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
