FAQs for Ninfield
Can the van park in Ashburnham Park?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Which station is closest to Ninfield?
Crowhurst station, about 3.5 miles east of the centre.
Can you park on the road outside?
That depends on local parking rules. A drive, car park or yard is usually easier; for the street, check the council’s rules.
Do numbers include extras?
Yes, if they’re in your numbers. Tell us the day before.
Do you do anything other than fish?
There is: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Let us know about coeliac crew in advance, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes, always. Everything is fried fresh in the van, and serve straight from the hatch.
What will the production need?
Every production asks for different things, so ask your production office for the list.

Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your crew instead.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
Why choose a fish and chip van in Ninfield?
Compared with sandwiches on set, a chip van gives the crew a proper hot meal. Got a budget? Let us know, and we will suggest a menu and timing to match. Keeping the menu short is usually the best value.

Prices and what affects them
Fish and chip van pricing is simple once we know the basics:

- How many people are eating
- Your choice of menu
Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so it helps to give us the postcode.
What to tell us
Here’s what makes a quick, accurate quote possible:
- The spot you have in mind for the van
- Anything awkward about the way in
- Your date and serving time
- Where the event is
Each quote is put together for your shoot. Give us your date first, and we’ll confirm whether we’re available that day.
How it works
Here’s how the day typically runs: we arrive, park up and set up, the fryers heat up, and food goes out hot when you are ready to eat. Daylight is short on winter shoots near Ninfield: sunset is about 3:55pm, so lunch at base is frequently in daylight but a wrap meal is not.
- The production office sends us the location, dates, numbers and lunch time.
- We check the route and the unit base and send a price.
- We agree the van’s position and arrival with the location manager.
- We cook to order through the crew’s lunch break.
- Afterwards we pack up and leave the unit base clean.
Preparing for the day
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
- Have a level parking spot ready
- Tell us when you want to eat
