Film set catering for your shoot in Lagness
A chip van fits right in at seaside locations. Popular choices include pie and chips, sausage and chips and mushy peas, and we’re frequently booked for stills shoots and treat days on a long shoot.
For a shoot in a place like Lagness, tracks and soft ground need checking. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer before you book.

Crew catering near Lagness
Lagness is about 2 miles west of Bognor Regis, in West Sussex. We park up at homes, halls, workplaces and venues in Lagness and nearby villages. We cover all 371 towns and villages in West Sussex, from the larger towns to small villages. Our bookings stretch from Lagness to Brighton (about 26 miles away).
Lagness is roughly 56 miles from central London, within easy reach for London-based crews. Crew coming by rail can use the station: the nearest station is Bognor Regis station, about 2.5 miles east. The coast is within about 3 miles of Lagness, and coastal unit bases can be exposed, so plan where crew will queue.

Neighbouring places where we serve shoots include Runcton (1 mile north-west), Merston (1 mile north), North Mundham (2 miles north-west), Colworth (2 miles north-east) and Hunston (2 miles west).

What the van needs
The van has to be able to get in and park safely, and a little planning goes a long way. Here’s what we look for:
- Away from the shooting area’s sound
- The location’s agreement
- A hardstanding spot at the unit base
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.
Popular choices
- Crew lunches
- Sausage and chips
- Haddock and chips
- Cod and chips
- Pie and chips
- Mushy peas
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 Lagness ends around 4:00pm, so a late lunch or wrap at base needs lighting. Summer shoots have daylight until about 9:20pm.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check the route in and send a price.
- We arrive in good time to set up.
- Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
- We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we’re done.
Before we arrive
- Get permission for the van from the venue
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Plan where the queue will stand

For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan service to match. Sending people up in groups helps.
The menu, dish by dish
Curry sauce
Chip-shop curry sauce is a mild, slightly sweet British classic, great with chips and sausages.
Pie and chips
For a heartier option, there is pie and chips, perfect with gravy.
Questions from Lagness
What about events near the coast?
Yes, of course. Wind doesn’t affect the fryers, but plan a sheltered spot for the queue.
Is Lagness close to London?
Roughly 56 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
What if lunch moves?
Yes. Tell us the lunch time and a contact on the day, and we’ll adjust where possible.
Do you need power or water?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Mention any power or water available and we will take it from there.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
No, not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Tell us about any coeliac crew and we will explain the options before booking.
Is there a non-fish option?
There is: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
How long will the queue be?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Give us your numbers and service window, and we will plan service around it.
Can you feed visitors on set?
Of course. Just tell us who counts.
A chip van compared with other options
Long shoots usually need a full catering unit. A chip van suits short shoots and treat days. Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. Ask us what applies to your shoot.
Why us?
- No surprises in your quote
- Bookings across West Sussex, including Lagness
- Cod, haddock, sausages and pies
- No kitchen, no crockery, no washing up
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your crew instead.
Occasions we serve in Lagness
It needs no kitchen on location.
If you’re planning any of these, we can help:
- Wrap celebrations
- Lunch at the unit base

Among the historic houses close to Lagness are Goodwood House (4.9 miles north). Historic houses are popular locations, and most set strict rules for vehicles, so plan the unit base with locations.

- The cancellation terms
- How many hours the van serves
- The deposit and payment dates
Allergies and dietary needs
We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible. To get it right:
- Add an allergy question to crew forms
- Plan an alternative for anyone we can’t cater for
- Confirm numbers the day before
- Give us a contact for call-time changes
