Should I sort the food myself?

Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.

A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the shoot.

About our film set catering in Roser's Cross

On a long shoot day, a good hot lunch keeps morale up. A fish and chip van parks at the unit base and fries to order. We are frequently asked to cater seaside shoots and treat days on a long shoot, serving pie and chips, sausage and chips and mushy peas.

Rural locations near Roser's Cross can be a long way from food, so a van at base is a big help. You will know what’s included before booking: the date, the service time and the menu, with no surprises on the day.

A fish and chip van or other catering?

A full location catering unit suits long shoots with three meals a day. A chip van suits short shoots and treat days. Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. Ask us what applies to your shoot.

Questions from Roser's Cross

Can the van go to venues in the High Weald National Landscape?

Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.

Do you come out to small places like Roser's Cross?

No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.

Can you go on a lawn or field?

Often, if the ground is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.

Who clears up?

We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.

Do you have allergen information?

Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Send us any allergies in writing.

How long will the queue be?

Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. Tell us your timings and we will advise.

What do we need to supply?

Let us know about power and water at the site when you enquire, and we will say what we need.

What will the production need?

Send us your supplier requirements.
