About our film set catering in Northease
Locations and the production office can deal with us directly. We serve mushy peas, sausage and chips and pie and chips, and typical bookings are for lunch at the unit base and end-of-shoot parties.
Rural locations near Northease can be a long way from food, so a van at base is a big help. Food is served straight from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and the queue keeps moving.

Northease questions
Do you come out to small places like Northease?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Do you come to venues in the South Downs National Park?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We will follow the site rules.
Can the van park on the street?
Only where it’s legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Ask your council early.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Tell us about coeliac crew when you enquire, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible.
Can you cater for allergies?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Tell us about allergies in advance.
Do you need power or water?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Mention any power or water available and we’ll take it from there.
Do you do anything other than fish?
Yes: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.
How long does set-up take?
We get there in good time to set up. We’ll agree arrival and serving times with you so food is ready when you want it.

The menu, dish by dish
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are a must for plenty of fish and chip fans, and they’re on the menu.
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it’s what most people in the south ask for. It’s battered and fried to order.
Organising for someone else?
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can hold the date.
Many venues set rules for catering vans: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
Looking after everyone
Tell us about dietary needs and allergies early, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer. To make it work smoothly:
- Share the base location and route
- Agree how the base is left
- Collect diets and allergies with crew details
- Give us a contact for call-time changes
Used oil leaves with the van.

Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
