- Add an allergy question to crew forms

Crew catering near Halland
Halland is about 3 miles south-east of Uckfield, in East Sussex. From the centre of Halland to the outskirts, we offer the same service: fresh frying, hot food from the hatch and a clear price. Halland is one of 289 towns and villages in East Sussex we cover. We serve events right across the region, from Halland to Brighton (13 miles away).
Within reach of Halland are historic houses such as Glyndebourne (4.8 miles south-west). Period locations like these normally keep vehicles well away from the house, so agree the base early. Halland is about 41 miles from central London, within easy reach for London-based crews. Halland is within about 7 miles of the South Downs National Park, so check vehicle rules with locations.
For shoots in BN8, we just need to know where the van can park and roughly how many crew. We can serve a shoot on streets such as Eastbourne Road, Old Heath Close and Old Hartfield Mews or the roads around them, as long as there’s somewhere for the van. If your venue is just outside Halland, we also cover East Hoathly (1 mile east), Shortgate (1 mile south-west), Whitesmith (2 miles south-east), Framfield (2 miles north) and Blackboys (3 miles north-east). We also serve nearby towns such as Eastbourne (12 miles south-east), Seaford (11 miles south), Lewes (7 miles south-west), Hailsham (7 miles south-east), Crowborough (8 miles north) and Newhaven (10 miles south).
Nearby you’ll also find Tickerage Castle (2.8 miles north) and Museum of Agricultural Bygones (3.1 miles south-west). Green spaces nearby include Selwyns Wood.
Before you choose a spot
If a spot is not suitable, we will tell you, and help find another. The main points are:
- Far enough from set to keep noise down
- Light near the van if needed
- Agreement from the location manager and landowner
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly.

The menu, dish by dish
Pie and chips
Pie and chips gives people a filling alternative to fish, perfect with gravy.
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.
How it works
You will know we’re ready when the smell of frying drifts over. From then on, people come up as they’re ready. Long summer days in Halland, with light until about 9:15pm, suit evening wraps outdoors, while by late September it’s nearer 7:05pm.
- First, tell us about your shoot.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- We cook to order on the day for the crew.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.
Getting ready for the day
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Share the timings for the day

Uckfield station, about 3.1 miles north-west of the centre.
Do you clear up afterwards?

Proper fish and chips, plus sausage or pie and chips. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.

Tell us what the production needs and we will confirm what we can provide.
