How our film set catering works in High Hurstwood
A chip van fits right in at seaside locations. For fashion shoots on location and crew lunches at base, we can cook pie and chips, haddock and chips and cod and chips for your guests.
Near High Hurstwood, check tracks and ground for the van with locations. We serve from the hatch, so it’s hot and generous, and service is quick once we’re up and running.

What affects the price in High Hurstwood
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Parking and the way in
- Whether a minimum applies
- Service time
- The menu and how many choices
The cost per head normally falls as numbers rise, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we will quote.
What to tell us
The more we know about your shoot, the better we can plan. Try to include:
- The venue or postcode
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Dietary needs, with numbers
- Anything awkward about the way in
We quote for each event separately, so the price fits what you actually need. To ask for one, send us your details through our quote form.
How the day works
The smell of the fryers does the inviting. Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, and chips are fried in batches through service. In December, daylight in High Hurstwood ends around 3:55pm, so the unit base needs lighting for late service. Summer shoots have daylight until about 9:15pm.
- We start with the location, call times and crew numbers.
- You get an access check and a quote.
- Parking and arrival are agreed with locations.
- We cook to order through the crew’s lunch break.
- Afterwards we pack up and leave the unit base clean.
How to prepare
- Make sure the van can get in
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue

Organising for someone else?
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll work through them with you.
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. Ask the council or landowner early.

- Space in front of the hatch
- A hardstanding spot at the unit base
- A lit spot for dark mornings or evenings
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.
Popular choices
- Mushy peas
- Pie and chips
- Sausage and chips
- Cod and chips
- Crew lunches
- Haddock and chips
A closer look at the menu
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it is the favourite in much of the south. We batter it and fry it to order.
Curry sauce
Chip-shop curry sauce is a mild, slightly sweet British classic, great with chips and sausages.
Allergies and dietary needs
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. We suggest:
- Have a back-up for special diets
- Send the unit base address and directions
- Collect diets and allergies with crew details
- Flag any coeliac crew
Lunch is planned around the call sheet, with a contact for changes.
A dining area at base helps.

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Takeaway rarely reaches a location hot. A van cooks at the unit base. Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so it helps to give us the postcode.
