Film set catering in Long Sutton, fried fresh
Food is fried to order, so it’s hot when the break is called. Typical bookings include stills shoots and live events and broadcasts, with sausage and chips, cod and chips and mushy peas.
Near Long Sutton, crews may be miles from anywhere to eat, so a van at base is a big help. You will know what’s included before you book: the date, the service time and the menu, with no surprises on the day.

- Update numbers if they change
- Send allergies to us in writing

What comes out of the fryer
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it’s what most people in the south ask for. It’s battered and fried to order.
Sausage and chips
For anyone who does not fancy fish, there is sausage and chips, and children love it.
Should I sort the food myself?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
Questions from Long Sutton
Which station is closest to Long Sutton?
The closest is Bentley (Hampshire) station, roughly 4.2 miles away.
Is Long Sutton too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can the van park on the street?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Check with your council first.
Can the van come to base?
Generally, if there’s level, firm ground. Locations will decide where.
Can you adjust to schedule changes?
We expect changes. Keep us updated and we’ll adapt.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Tell us about coeliac crew when you enquire, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible.
Do you take everything away?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. Bins for crew are worth planning.
Can you feed supporting artists too?
Of course. Just tell us who counts.
How it works
The smell of the fryers does the inviting. Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, with chips cooked in batches as the queue moves. Daylight is short on winter shoots near Long Sutton: sunset is about 4:00pm, so lunch at base is frequently in daylight but a wrap meal is not.
- We start with the location, call times and crew numbers.
- We check the route and the unit base and send a price.
- We arrange the van’s spot at the unit base with locations.
- We set up at the unit base and fry to order for the lunch break.
- We clear up and get out of the way.
Before we arrive
- Keep space clear for crew at the hatch
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
