About our film set catering in Haslingbourne
We work with your location manager or production office on access, parking and timings. For crew morale days and lunch at the unit base, we’ll put together a menu of sausage and chips, haddock and chips and mushy peas for your guests.
Near Haslingbourne, crews may be miles from anywhere to eat, so a van at base is a big help. We cook inside the van, right where your crew are, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.

Haslingbourne questions
How far is Haslingbourne from London?
Roughly 42 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Which station is closest to Haslingbourne?
Pulborough station, about 3.8 miles east of the centre.
What do we need to supply?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Tell us whether there’s power or water nearby and we will take it from there.
What does it cost to hire the van?
We quote for each booking, based on your numbers and timings. Give us your date, numbers and serving time for a clear quote.
Do you cover Haslingbourne?
Yes, we do. We serve events in Haslingbourne and across West Sussex. Send us your date to check availability.
Where does the van go on location?
Yes, wherever locations agree; we will check the route.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
No, not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Let us know and we will tell you what we can do.
What paperwork do you provide?
Productions vary, so send us the list and we will go through it.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
Working with your venue
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can hold the date.

How the day works
It is a relaxed, well-organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, set up where we have agreed, and cook and serve without fuss. Daylight is short on winter shoots near Haslingbourne: sunset is about 4:00pm, so lunch at base is frequently in daylight but a wrap meal isn’t.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- 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.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Getting ready for the day
- Make sure the van can get in
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
- Share the timings for the day
