A chip van near Rustington
About our film set catering in Rustington
A van can get a crew fed quickly within the lunch break, with no kitchen needed on site. We are frequently asked to cater location filming and wrap celebrations, with sausage and chips, mushy peas and pie and chips.
For a location shoot near Rustington, base might be in a field or farmyard, so ground conditions matter. We keep the menu short: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.

Takeaway run or book a van?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the shoot.

How we price a fish and chip van for the crew
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- The length of service
- Access and parking
- Cod, haddock or both
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. Every booking gets its own quote.

Rustington questions
What about events near the coast?
Yes, of course. Wind doesn’t affect the fryers, but plan a sheltered spot for the queue.
Could you trade in Mewsbrook Park?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
What’s on the menu?
The classics: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.
Can you feed visitors on set?
Yes, include them in numbers. Confirm numbers the day before.
Is grass a problem?
It depends on the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and send a photo if you can.
Do you cater wrap parties?
Yes. A chip van suits a relaxed wrap party.
Do we need to provide equipment?
Everything is cooked in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site.
Where can the van park?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, close to where people will eat, and space for a queue. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
How it works
The van needs a level, firm spot it can drive onto, close to where people will eat, and we agree exactly where before the day. On a winter shoot near Rustington, the light goes by about 4:00pm, so a late lunch or wrap at base needs lighting. Summer shoots have daylight until about 9:20pm.
- The production office sends us the location, dates, numbers and lunch time.
- We check the route and the unit base and send a price.
- We arrange the van’s spot at the unit base with locations.
- We set up at the unit base and fry to order for the lunch break.
- We clear up and get out of the way.
Getting ready for the day
- Ensure the van can get in
- Get permission for the van from the venue
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
