Film set catering in Ore
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.

Common questions in Ore
Could you trade in Speckled Wood?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
How far is Ore from London?
About 53 miles from central London.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Let us know about coeliac crew in advance, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible.
Can the van park on the street?
That depends on local parking rules. Off-road parking is typically simpler; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
What if lunch moves?
Schedules move, and we plan for it. Keep us updated and we will adapt.
Do you have allergen information?
Tell us about allergies when you book, and we’ll give you the allergen information and what we can offer.
Where do you take the van?
We cover London and the South East, including East Sussex. See all areas.
What food do you serve?
Proper fish and chips, plus sausage or pie and chips. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
The menu, dish by dish
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it is what most people in the south ask for. We batter it and fry it to order.
Curry sauce
Some people will not eat chips without curry sauce, so we bring it along.
How it works
You don’t need to do much on the day: point us to the spot and get on with your shoot. The frying and serving are down to us. Long summer days in Ore, with light until about 9:15pm, suit evening wraps outdoors, while by late September it’s nearer 7:00pm.
- Tell us what you are planning and when you’d like to eat.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Preparing for the day
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Let us know who to talk to on the day

Central London is about 53 miles from Ore. With the sea within about 2 miles, coastal shoots need a sheltered base, so plan where crew will queue.

Working with your venue

Is a fish and chip van right for your shoot?
A wrap party at a venue costs more. A van keeps it relaxed and simple. A chip van often compares well with a plated meal, as there is no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. Ask us for a quote.
Why us?
- We cook inside the van, whatever the weather
- A quote that spells everything out
- The queue at the hatch gets people talking
- Quick service from the hatch
Before you choose a spot
We will agree the van’s spot with you before the day. It needs to tick a few simple boxes:
- Away from the shooting area’s sound
- Access checked by locations
- Permission for the van at base
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
