A chip van near Loxwood
Film set catering in Loxwood, cooked to order
A chip van is a popular crew treat on a long shoot. On the menu are haddock and chips, pie and chips and mushy peas, and typical bookings are for shoots on location and seaside shoots.
Rural locations near Loxwood can be a long way from food, so a van at base is a big help. We keep the menu short: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.

Common questions in Loxwood
Is Loxwood too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
How far is Loxwood from London?
Roughly 34 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
What does the van need?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, near your crew, with room for a queue at the hatch. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
Where does the van go on location?
Yes, wherever locations agree.
What can crew choose from?
Fish and chips, of course, with sausages and pies for anyone who doesn’t want fish. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
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 tell you honestly what we can offer.
What areas do you cover?
We take the van across London and the South East, including West Sussex. See all areas.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
Typically, if it’s firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.

A fish and chip van or other catering?
Many locations are miles from shops. A van brings lunch to base. Cost depends on numbers, menu and service time, plus travel and access. We quote for each booking individually.
Why Loxwood hosts choose us
- Served hot, straight from the hatch
- A menu almost everyone likes
- Rain doesn’t stop the fryers
- A van that becomes part of the event
Takeaway run or book a van?
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is generally the easier option.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Before you choose a spot
A fish and chip van is a vehicle, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way. These are the things we check:
- Away from the shooting area’s sound
- Access checked by locations
- The location’s agreement
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.

How the day works
You’ll know we’re ready when the smell of frying drifts over. From then on, people come up as they’re ready. Winter shoots near Loxwood chase the light, which goes at about 3:55pm in December, so lunch at base is often in daylight but a wrap meal is not.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check the route in and send a price.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.
Preparing for the day

- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
