Book the van in Pagham
How it works
We need time before service to bring the fryers up to heat, so we are there in good time before you want to eat. Long summer days in Pagham, with light until about 9:20pm, suit evening wraps outdoors.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks, and how it gets in.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
How to prepare
- Get permission for the van from the venue
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Give us a contact for the day

How our film set catering works in Pagham
We need a level, firm spot at base, and a clear route in. We are frequently asked to cater crew morale days and fashion shoots on location, serving sausage and chips, haddock and chips and mushy peas.
Near Pagham, crews may be miles from anywhere to eat, 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.

Prices and what affects them
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, depending on:
- How many people are eating
- Distance and any road charges
- The day of the week
- How long we serve
Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. Your quote spells it all out.
Details that help
The more we know about your shoot, the better we can plan. Try to include:
- A picture of where the van would go
- The date and time of the event
- Expected numbers
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
To get a price, send us your details through our quote form. Tell us about your shoot in Pagham, and we will come back with availability and a quote.
Diets, allergies and planning
We take allergies seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Put allergy details in writing
- Share the base location and route
- Flag any coeliac crew
- Collect diets and allergies with crew details
We set up at the unit base ahead of lunch, out of the way.
A gazebo by the van keeps the line dry.
Food your guests will love
Curry sauce
The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, great with chips and sausages.
Pie and chips
A pie and chips is proper comfort food, and it’s especially welcome on a cold day.
