Book the van in Ifold
Planners, venues and businesses
If you’re booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we’ll talk you through the process. We’re happy to liaise with facilities on parking and timings.
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Tell us what your venue needs and we will confirm what we can provide.
How our film set catering works in Ifold
Locations and the production office can deal with us directly. We serve haddock and chips, pie and chips and sausage and chips, and we are regularly asked to cater crew lunches at base and wrap celebrations.
Near Ifold, check tracks and ground for the van with locations. Food is served straight from the hatch, so it is hot and generous, and the queue keeps moving.

Planning a shoot in Ifold
Ifold is about 9 miles west of Horsham, in West Sussex. Across the RH14 area, we will come to your venue, home or workplace. Ifold is one of 371 towns and villages in West Sussex we cover. Our nearest city page is Guildford, about 12 miles away.
Wherever your shoot is in RH14, we can bring the van to you. Local streets include Birchwood Close, The Drive and Wildacre Close; a shoot on any of them works well with a drive or nearby car park.

Open spaces near Ifold include Shillinglee Lake.
The process
We need a level, firm place to park the van, near your crew, and we agree exactly where before the day. In December, daylight in Ifold ends around 3:55pm, so a late lunch or wrap at base needs lighting. Summer shoots have daylight until about 9:20pm.
- First, tell us about your shoot.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for the crew.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.
How to prepare
- Share the timings for the day
- Name one person we can call on the day
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
