Common questions in Jevington
Can the van go to venues in the South Downs National Park?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We will work to whatever the site needs.
Can you serve near the sea around Jevington?
Yes. Wind doesn’t affect the fryers, but plan a sheltered spot for the queue.
How long does set-up take?
We get there in good time to set up. We will agree arrival and serving times with you.
Can the van come to base?
Generally, with a level spot. We’ll agree the spot with your location manager.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Yes. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Tell us how many are coming.
Where do you take the van?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Jevington.
Can you feed supporting artists too?
Yes, include them in numbers. Tell us the day before.
What do we need to supply?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Mention any power or water available and we’ll take it from there.
Film set catering in Jevington, fried fresh
Locations and the production office can deal with us directly. Whether it is photo shoots and outside broadcasts, we will put together a menu of pie and chips, sausage and chips and cod and chips for your guests.
For a shoot in a place like Jevington, tracks and soft ground need checking with locations. We keep the menu short: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.

Jevington for film and TV crews
Jevington is about 3 miles west of Eastbourne, in East Sussex. We park up at homes, halls, workplaces and venues in Jevington. Jevington is one of 289 towns and villages in East Sussex we cover. We serve events right across the region, from Jevington to Brighton (about 15 miles away).
Jevington is roughly 51 miles from central London. Among the historic houses close to Jevington are Alfriston Clergy House (2.7 miles west) and Michelham Priory (4.8 miles north). If you are shooting at a historic house, the van will need a base agreed with the property. Jevington is within about 3 miles of the South Downs National Park, so check vehicle rules with locations. The coast is within about 4 miles of Jevington, and coastal unit bases can be exposed.
We take the van to shoots all over BN26 and the streets around it. Whether your shoot is on Jevington Road, Church Lane and Green Lane or anywhere nearby, we can park up and fry there. For shoots just outside Jevington, we cover Ratton Village (2 miles east), Friston (2 miles south), East Dean (2 miles south), Old Town (3 miles south-east) and Hampden Park (3 miles east).

Before you choose a spot
The right spot keeps everyone safe and the service smooth. We need:
- Clear of the shot and sound

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.
What we serve
- Cod and chips
- Mushy peas
- Haddock and chips
- Pie and chips
- Crew lunches
- Sausage and chips
What comes out of the fryer
Haddock and chips
Some people swear by haddock: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Tell us if you’d like to offer it.
Curry sauce
Some people won’t eat chips without curry sauce, so we bring it along.
What affects the price in Jevington
The price comes down to a few factors:
- Any minimum charge

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is generally the easier option.
