About our film set catering in Litlington
Location shoots, commercials and wrap parties all suit a chip van. We are frequently asked to cater wrap celebrations and live events and broadcasts, serving sausage and chips, haddock and chips and pie and chips.
Rural locations near Litlington can be a long way from food, so a van at base is a big help. Food is served straight from the hatch, so it’s hot and generous, and the queue keeps moving.

A chip van compared with other options
A full location catering unit suits long shoots with three meals a day. 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. We will tell you up front.
Why us?
- Bookings across East Sussex, including Litlington
- A menu almost everyone likes
- We cook inside the van, whatever the weather

Litlington: your questions answered
Is Litlington too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Do you come to venues in the South Downs National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We’ll follow the site rules.
Do you come to Litlington?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, including Litlington and the rest of East Sussex. To check your date, send us your details through our quote form.
Where can the van park?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, near your crew, and space for a queue. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
What paperwork do you provide?
Tell us what the production needs and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
Do you have allergen information?
Tell us about allergies when you book, and we will tell you what’s in each item and what we can offer.
What happens if it rains?
Rain does not stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. It is worth planning some cover for the queue.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Let us know and we’ll tell you what we can do.
How the day works
Rain doesn’t stop the fryers, because the cooking happens inside the van. Crew will still appreciate a bit of cover near the hatch. Long summer days in Litlington, with light until about 9:15pm, suit evening wraps outdoors.

What a fish and chip van costs
Fish and chip van pricing is simple once we know the basics:
- Numbers
- Any minimum charge
- How easy the site is to reach
- The length of service
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. Every booking gets its own quote.
Details that help
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what to include:
- The venue or postcode
- Allergies and diets you know about
- Anything awkward about the way in
- The spot you have in mind for the van
Getting a quote is simple: share your date, address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat. We’ll send a clear quote that says what’s included.
Organising for someone else?
If you are 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 frequently have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
Planning for dietary needs
Allergies are taken seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Plan an alternative for anyone we cannot cater for
- Send the unit base address and directions
- Agree how the base is left
- Send final numbers the day before
We set up at the unit base ahead of lunch, out of the way.
Tables or a marquee at base make lunch comfortable.
