Film set catering in Littleworth Corner
A fish and chip van or other catering?
Long shoots generally need a full catering unit. A van is great for short jobs and crew treats. The cost per head normally falls as numbers rise, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.

How our film set catering works in Littleworth Corner
Schedules move, so a contact on the day helps and we’ll work around it. On the menu are mushy peas, pie and chips and cod and chips, and we’re frequently booked for treat days on a long shoot and crew lunches at base.
Near Littleworth Corner, crews may be miles from anywhere to eat, so lunch at base matters. Food is served straight from the hatch, so it’s hot and generous, and service is quick once we’re up and running.
Where the van can park in Littleworth Corner
Most drives, car parks, yards and firm lawns can take the van, but there are a few things to check:
- Level, firm ground at base
- Away from the shooting area’s sound
- A route in the van can manage, with no low branches or tight lanes

What affects the price in Littleworth Corner
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, because of:
- How far we travel
- The date and time of year
- How long we serve
- How easy the site is to reach
Most vans have a minimum charge, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. Ask us what applies to your shoot.

Questions from Littleworth Corner
Is Littleworth Corner too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Is Littleworth Corner close to London?
Roughly 24 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
What areas do you cover?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Littleworth Corner.
Do you bring everything you need?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.
Is grass a problem?
Generally, if it’s firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
Can you park on the road outside?
That depends on local parking rules. Off-road parking is generally simpler; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
What about crew who do not eat fish?
Yes: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
How long will the queue be?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Give us your numbers and service window, and we’ll plan service around it.
