Planning the van’s spot
Most drives, car parks, yards and firm lawns can take the van, but a few things matter:
- Lighting for early or late service
- Far enough from set to keep noise down
- Agreement from the location manager and landowner
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

Film set catering for your shoot in Keynor Estate
On a long shoot day, a good hot lunch keeps morale up. We park at the unit base and cook to order. On the menu are mushy peas, sausage and chips and pie and chips, and typical bookings are for treat days on a long shoot and wrap parties.
For a shoot in a place like Keynor Estate, tracks and soft ground need checking. Food is served straight from the hatch, so it is hot and generous, and service is quick once we’re up and running.

Why choose film set catering in Keynor Estate?
Productions book a chip van because crews love it.
Whatever brings people together, a chip van is a crowd-pleaser. We’re often booked for:
- Shoots on location
- Treat days on a long shoot
- Live events and broadcasts
- Stills shoots
Crew coming by rail can use the station: the nearest station is Chichester station, about 4.4 miles north.
Before you book anyone
- What happens if the event is cancelled or moved
- When payment is due
- What they can offer for dietary needs
- The deadline for final numbers
Diets, allergies and planning
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Add an allergy question to crew forms
- Give us a map or what3words for base
- Make sure we can reach locations on the day
- Let us know about coeliac disease
We take our used oil and waste with us.
Pre-orders from the crew help on tight breaks.
Step by step
When we arrive, we position the van, set up the hatch and get the fryers up to temperature. Once we’re hot, we cook to order, timed around your shoot. Light in Keynor Estate lasts until about 9:20pm at midsummer; for dawn calls or late wraps, plan lighting at base.
- Tell us what you are planning and when you’d like to eat.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance, and how it gets in.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
Before we arrive
- Plan where the queue will stand
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Confirm the van is allowed on site

Questions from Keynor Estate
What about events near the coast?
Yes, of course. Wind doesn’t affect the fryers, but plan a sheltered spot for the queue.
Is Keynor Estate too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Who clears up?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. Bins for crew are worth planning.
How much space do you need?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, near your crew, and space for a queue. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
Can you adjust to schedule changes?
Yes. Give us a contact for changes, and we will work around changes where we can.
Can you park at the unit base?
Usually, if there is level, firm ground. We will agree the spot with your location manager.
Where do you take the van?
We take the van across London and the South East, including West Sussex. Find your area.
What do we need to supply?
Let us know about power and water at the site in your enquiry, and we’ll confirm what we need.
For planners, venues and organisers
Planning an event for a club, school or charity in Keynor Estate? A fish and chip van draws people in and almost everyone likes it. Tell us about the event and we’ll take it from there.
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Sending people up in groups helps.
About the food
Haddock and chips
Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. It’s the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.
Gravy
Chips and gravy is a favourite in the north and the Midlands, and it goes perfectly with a pie.
