Film set catering for your shoot in Ningwood
A chip van fits right in at seaside locations. Whether it is fashion shoots on location and lunch at the unit base, we can cook mushy peas, haddock and chips and sausage and chips.
Rural locations near Ningwood can be a long way from food, so a van at base is a big help. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.

What happens on the day
We work to your timings. If the day runs behind, we simply start frying a little later, so nothing is cooked before it is needed. In December, daylight in Ningwood ends around 4:00pm, so a late lunch or wrap at base needs lighting. Summer shoots have daylight until about 9:20pm.
- Tell us what you’re planning and when you’d like to eat.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Getting ready for the day
- Share the timings for the day
- Keep space clear for crew at the hatch
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
How to get a price
It’s easy to get a price: share your date, address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat. We will send a clear quote that says what’s included.

Your questions about a fish and chip van for the crew in Ningwood
Can you serve near the sea around Ningwood?
Yes, of course. The cooking is inside the van, so wind doesn’t affect it, but the queue will want shelter.
Is Ningwood too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Is there a non-fish option?
Yes: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.
Can you work to the call sheet?
We expect changes. Keep us updated and we’ll adapt.
Can you serve children?
Yes. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Include children in your numbers.
Do we need to provide anything?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Mention any power or water available and we will take it from there.
What areas do you cover?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
Do you bring everything you need?
All the cooking happens in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site.
A closer look at the menu
Sausage and chips
A sausage and chips is the chip-shop classic for younger crew and fish-dodgers, especially with curry sauce.
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it is the favourite in much of the south. We batter it and fry it to order.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We are happy to send a quote so you can compare.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
Allergies and dietary needs
Allergies are taken seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Confirm allergies by email
- Collect diets and allergies with crew details
- Give us a contact for call-time changes
- Arrange something for anyone with needs we cannot meet
We set up at the unit base ahead of lunch, out of the way.
A dining area at base helps.
