About our film set catering in Salvington
A chip van is a popular crew treat on a long shoot, alongside regular catering. Typical bookings include crew lunches at base and commercials and music videos, with pie and chips, cod and chips and sausage and chips.
Around Salvington, locations can be rural. Tell us about the route to base. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet.

Questions from Salvington
Can you serve near the sea around Salvington?
Yes. The cooking is inside the van, so wind does not affect it, but the queue will want shelter.
Can the van park in Durrington Minature Railway?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Do we need to provide equipment?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.
How fast is service?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we will plan to keep the queue moving.
Do you have documents for productions?
Send us your supplier requirements.
Do we need to provide anything?
Tell us what’s available at the site when you enquire, and we’ll say what we need.
Can the van come to base?
Usually, if there is level, firm ground. Locations will decide where.
Can you adjust to schedule changes?
We expect changes. Keep us updated and we will adapt.
Step by step
The smell of the fryers does the inviting. Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, with chips cooked in batches as the queue moves. Daylight is short on winter shoots near Salvington: sunset is about 4:00pm, so lunch at base is often in daylight but a wrap meal isn’t.
- Tell us what you are planning and when you’d like to eat.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance, and how it gets in.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Before we arrive
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Get permission for the van from the venue
- Have a level parking spot ready

- Share the base location and route
- Ensure we can reach locations on the day
We work to the lunch time on the call sheet, with a contact for changes.
