About our film set catering in Pulborough
Locations and the production office can deal with us directly. We serve sausage and chips, mushy peas and haddock and chips, and we are regularly asked to cater ad shoots and fashion shoots on location.
Near Pulborough, base may be a field or yard, so ground conditions matter. We serve from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and service is quick once we’re up and running.

Organising for someone else?
Planning an event for a club, school or charity in Pulborough? 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.
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
About the food
Gravy
A pot of gravy turns chips into comfort food.
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.
Prices and what affects them
There are no hidden charges: the price is based on:
- The minimum booking
- The day of the week
- How long we serve
- Cod, haddock or both
A chip van frequently compares well with a plated meal, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. We will send you a quote.
What to tell us
For a quote, it helps to have:
- Allergies and diets you know about
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- A picture of the parking spot
Most quotes start with a few simple details: the date, where the van would park, roughly how many people and when you’d like to eat. To send them, fill in our quote form.

Questions from Pulborough
Do you come to venues in the South Downs National Park?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We will follow the site rules.
Which station is closest to Pulborough?
The closest is Pulborough station, roughly 0.6 miles away.
Can the van park on grass?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and we’ll advise.
Can you park on the road outside?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Check with your council first.
Where can the van park?
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 picture.
Can you feed visitors on set?
Of course. Let us know total numbers.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Let us know about bins for crew.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Tell us about any coeliac crew and we will explain the options.

How the day works
A typical booking goes like this: we arrive, park up and set up, the fryers heat up, and food goes out hot at the agreed time. Daylight is short on winter shoots near Pulborough: sunset is about 3:55pm, so lunch at base is often in daylight but a wrap meal is not.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Getting ready for the day
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Let us know the serving time
