Common questions in Peasmarsh
Which station is closest to Peasmarsh?
Rye station, about 2.3 miles south-east of the centre.
Is Peasmarsh too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can you feed visitors on set?
Yes, include them in numbers. Confirm numbers the day before.
Is there something for children?
Yes. Children typically love sausage and chips. Tell us how many are coming.
What can crew choose from?
Proper fish and chips, plus sausage or pie and chips. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.
Can the van park on the street?
That depends on local parking rules. Off-road parking is normally simpler; for the street, check the council’s rules.
Can the van come to Peasmarsh?
We do. Peasmarsh is one of the places we cover. Send us your date to check availability.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes, always. We fry to order in the van at your venue, and serve straight from the hatch.
About our film set catering in Peasmarsh
We cater location shoots, unit bases, commercials, music videos and wrap parties. Whether it is photo shoots and outside broadcasts, we will put together a menu of pie and chips, mushy peas and haddock and chips.
For a shoot in a place like Peasmarsh, tracks and soft ground need checking with locations. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your shoot, so the batter is still crisp when it is handed over.

Location catering around Peasmarsh
Peasmarsh is about 9 miles north-east of Hastings, in East Sussex. We park up at homes, halls, workplaces and venues in Peasmarsh and nearby villages. Peasmarsh is one of 289 towns and villages in East Sussex we cover. Our bookings stretch from Peasmarsh to Canterbury (27 miles away).
Within reach of Peasmarsh are historic houses such as Lamb House (2.5 miles south-east) and Smallhythe Place (4.6 miles north). If you are shooting at a historic house, the van will need a base agreed with the property. Central London is about 50 miles from Peasmarsh. With the sea within about 3 miles, coastal shoots need a sheltered base, so plan where crew will queue.
Shoots anywhere in TN31 start with a parking spot for the van. We can serve a shoot on streets such as Main Street, Farleys Way and The Maltings, as long as there’s somewhere for the van. Other places close to Peasmarsh we cover include Flackley Ash (1 mile north-west), Beckley (2 miles north-west), Cock Marling (2 miles south), Udimore (3 miles south-west) and Broadland Row (3 miles south-west).

Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is usually the easier option.
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 nobody has to miss the shoot.
For planners, venues and organisers
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan service to match. Staggering groups helps a lot.
Organising a club, school or community event in Peasmarsh? A fish and chip van draws people in and almost everyone likes it. Give us the details and we will suggest how it could work.
Diets, allergies and planning
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Agree the waste plan with locations
- Ensure we can reach locations on the day
- Have a back-up for special diets
- Let us know about coeliac disease
We take our used oil and waste with us.
A gazebo by the van keeps the line dry.
How the day works
We work to your timings. If the day runs behind, we simply start frying a little later, so the food is still fresh when it’s served. Daylight is short on winter shoots near Peasmarsh: sunset is about 3:55pm.
- We start with a few details about your shoot.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- We cook to order on the day for the crew.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Name one person we can call on the day
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Confirm the van is allowed on site

A closer look at the menu
Gravy
A pot of gravy turns chips into comfort food, especially in winter.
Mushy peas
Proper mushy peas start with dried marrowfat peas. They’re the classic side with fish and chips.
Is a fish and chip van right for your shoot?
Ordering takeaway to a location is unreliable. A van cooks at the unit base. Most vans have a minimum charge, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. We will tell you up front.
What you get with us
- No kitchen, no crockery, no washing up
- A clear quote before you book
- Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy on the side
- We cook inside the van, whatever the weather

What we need to know
You don’t need everything decided to ask for a quote, but these help:
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Where the event is
- Allergies and diets you know about
We only need a few details to quote: the date, where the van would park, roughly how many people and when you’d like to eat. To send them, send us your details through our quote form.
Planning the van’s spot
We will be honest if a spot will not work, and suggest an alternative. What matters most:
- A lit spot for dark mornings or evenings
- Clear of the shot and sound
- Agreement from the location manager and landowner
Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly.
