Locations and the production office can deal with us directly. We serve sausage and chips, mushy peas and haddock and chips, and we’re regularly asked to cater seaside and period locations and music video shoots.
Near Hollington, base may be a field or yard, so ground conditions matter. We bring the van and everything we need to cook, and we leave the pitch tidy when we go.

Shooting in Hollington: unit bases and access
Hollington is about 1 mile north-west of Hastings, in East Sussex. Tell us where your shoot in Hollington will be, and we will plan the route and the parking spot before the day. We serve 289 places across East Sussex. Our bookings stretch from Hollington to Brighton (30 miles away).
Crew coming by rail can use the station: the nearest station is St Leonards Warrior Square station, about 1.4 miles south. Among the historic houses close to Hollington are Durhamford Manor (4.8 miles north). Historic houses are popular locations, and most set strict rules for vehicles, so plan the unit base with locations. With the sea within about 3 miles, coastal shoots need a sheltered base, so plan where crew will queue.
For shoots in TN38, TN37 and TN34, we just need to know where the van can park. Your shoot could be at a house on Kent Road, Duke Road and Ford Road or the roads around them, wherever the van can park. Hollington sits on or near the A21, so getting the van to your shoot is simple. If your venue is just outside Hollington, we also cover Silverhill (1 mile south-east), Hastings (1 mile south-east), Baldslow (1 mile north), St Helen's (1 mile east) and St Leonards (1 mile south).

What happens on the day
If the plan changes on the day, a quick word is all it takes: we can start a little later or slow the pace. On a winter shoot near Hollington, the light goes by about 3:55pm, so the unit base needs lighting for late service. In summer, light lasts until about 9:15pm.
- It starts with the unit base, dates and numbers.
- We check access and send 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
- Clear the route for the van
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain

Working with your venue
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan service to match. Sending people up in groups helps.
Should I sort the food myself?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the shoot.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is usually the easier option.
Questions from Hollington
Is Hollington close to London?
Roughly 51 miles from the centre of London.
Can the van park in Old Roar Gill and Coronation Wood?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Ask them first.
Can the van come to base?
Typically, if there’s level, firm ground. We’ll agree the spot with your location manager.
Is grass a problem?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and send a photo if you can.
What food do you serve?
Fish and chips, of course, plus sausage or pie and chips. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Of course. Children usually love sausage and chips. Tell us how many are coming.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We clear the van’s area after service. Let us know about bins for crew.
Do you have allergen information?
Let us know about allergies in advance, and we will tell you what’s in each item and what we can offer.
Prices and what affects them
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, because of:
- Cod, haddock or both
- Numbers
- Service time
- How easy the site is to reach
There is no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. We set everything out in your quote.
What to tell us
You don’t need everything decided to ask for a quote, but it helps to know:
- A picture of where the van would go
- Expected numbers
- Where the event is
- The date and time of the event
It is easy to get a price: tell us the date, place, numbers and serving time. We’ll come back with a clear quote.
Looking after everyone
Most events have a few crew with dietary needs. To plan for them:
- Flag any coeliac crew
- Confirm numbers the day before
- Arrange something for anyone with needs we cannot meet

We take our used oil and waste with us.
Bins at base keep the location clean.
