Film set catering in Pitch Green, fried fresh
A chip van fits right in at seaside locations. For location filming and commercials and music videos, we can cook haddock and chips, cod and chips and sausage and chips for your guests.
Near Pitch Green, crews may be miles from anywhere to eat, so a van at base is a big help. The menu is short on purpose: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.

How far is Pitch Green from London?
Roughly 37 miles from the centre of London.
Do you come out to small places like Pitch Green?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
What do we need to supply?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Tell us whether there is power or water nearby and we’ll take it from there.
Can you serve children?
Children are very welcome. Tell us how many children, and we’ll include them in the plan.
Can the van park on grass?

Yes, wherever locations agree; we will check the route.
Do you take everything away?
We clear the van’s area after service. Let us know about bins for crew.

Less than you might think: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, that the van can reach easily. If in doubt, send a photo.
What happens on the day
We need time before service to bring the fryers up to heat, so we are there in good time before you want to eat. Sunset in Pitch Green is about 8:55pm in late May, 9:25pm at midsummer and 7:05pm in late September; for early or late service, base needs lighting.

- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for the crew.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.
How to prepare

Should I sort the food myself?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.

Most vans have a minimum charge, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. Ask us what applies to your shoot.
