Fresh fish and chips in Lower Beeding
Film set catering in Lower Beeding, fried fresh
On a long shoot day, a good hot lunch keeps morale up. A fish and chip van parks at the unit base and fries to order. We are frequently asked to cater seaside and period locations and music video shoots, serving cod and chips, mushy peas and pie and chips.
Rural locations near Lower Beeding can be a long way from food, so lunch at base matters. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.

Should I sort the food myself?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
How it works
We get there well before service, set up and bring the oil up to temperature. Crew generally gather round the hatch once service starts. Winter shoots near Lower Beeding chase the light, which goes at about 3:55pm in December, so lunch at base is frequently in daylight but a wrap meal is not.
- Tell us what you’re planning and when you’d like to eat.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks, 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.
Preparing for the day
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
Getting a price
Every quote is worked out for your event. Start with your date, and we will confirm whether we’re available that day.

Which station is closest to Lower Beeding?

Is Lower Beeding too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
What paperwork do you provide?
Tell us what the production needs and we will confirm what we can provide.

Can the van park on the street?
Only where it’s legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Check with your council first.
When do you arrive?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
