About our film set catering in Plumpton
The van needs level, firm ground at the unit base, and a clear route in. Typical bookings include lunch at the unit base and seaside and period locations, serving cod and chips, mushy peas and sausage and chips.
Near Plumpton, check tracks and ground for the van. We cook inside the van, right where your crew are, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.

Questions from Plumpton
Is Plumpton too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.

Roughly 41 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. Tell us your timings and we will advise.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes, always. We fry to order in the van at your venue, and serve straight from the hatch.
What if we only have street parking?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Check with your council first.
Do you do anything other than fish?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Tell us about other diets and we’ll tell you what we can offer.
Can you work to the call sheet?
Yes. Tell us the lunch time and a contact on the day, and we’ll work around changes where we can.
Can you park at the unit base?
Normally, if there’s level, firm ground. We’ll agree the spot with your location manager.
What comes out of the fryer

Shooting in Plumpton: unit bases and access
Plumpton is about 4 miles north-west of Lewes, in East Sussex. Give us the address of your shoot in Plumpton, and we’ll plan the route and the parking spot before the day. Plumpton is one of 289 towns and villages in East Sussex we cover. Our bookings stretch from Plumpton to Brighton (about 6 miles away).
Nearby historic houses include Anne of Cleves House (4 miles south-east). Period locations like these typically keep vehicles well away from the house, so agree the base early. Plumpton is roughly 41 miles from central London. Plumpton is within about 3 miles of the South Downs National Park, so check vehicle rules with locations.
Shoots anywhere in BN7 start with a parking spot for the van. Whether your shoot is on Plumpton Lane and Ditchling Road or a nearby road, we’ll bring the van to you. Nearby, we also serve shoots in East Chiltington (1 mile north-east), Streat (1 mile north-west), Chiltington (2 miles north-east), Plumpton Green (2 miles north) and Cooksbridge (2 miles east). Larger places within reach include Seaford (12 miles south-east), Lewes (4 miles south-east), Hailsham (14 miles east), Crowborough (14 miles north-east), Uckfield (8 miles north-east) and Newhaven (9 miles south-east).

Should I sort the food myself?
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
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 you get to enjoy the day.
For planners, venues and organisers
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can hold the date.
