For event organisers in Selsey
Organising a club, school or community event in Selsey? 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.
Many venues set rules for catering vans: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will work through them with you.
Film set catering for your shoot in Selsey
Call times change, so give us a contact on the day and we will work around it. Whether it is location filming and wrap celebrations, we can cook cod and chips, mushy peas and sausage and chips and more.
In Selsey, send us the base location. We keep the menu short: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.

Should I sort the food myself?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your crew instead.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the shoot.
Is a fish and chip van right for your shoot?
Compared with sandwiches on set, hot fish and chips is a real lunch. There is no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. Your quote spells it all out.
Why us?
- The queue at the hatch gets people talking
- Cod, haddock, sausages and pies
- Fried fresh, not kept warm
- No kitchen needed

Space, access and the venue
The van has to be able to get in and park safely, so a few things need checking. Here’s what we look for:
- A lit spot for dark mornings or evenings
- Far enough from set to keep noise down
- The location’s agreement
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Planning a shoot in Selsey
Selsey is about 6 miles south-west of Bognor Regis, in West Sussex. For shoots in Selsey, we can park on a drive, a car park, a yard or firm, dry grass. We take the van to 371 places in West Sussex. Our nearest city page is Southampton, about 29 miles away.
Selsey is roughly 61 miles from central London, within easy reach for London-based crews. With the sea within about a mile, coastal shoots need a sheltered base.
Shoots anywhere in PO20 start with a parking spot for the van. Your shoot could be at a house on Church Road, High Street and Ellis Square, wherever the van can park. Selsey sits on or near the B2145, so getting the van to your shoot is simple. If your venue is just outside Selsey, we also cover Church Norton (1 mile north-east), Keynor Estate (2 miles north), Sidlesham (3 miles north), Pagham (3 miles north-east) and Street End (4 miles north). We also serve nearby towns such as Bognor Regis (6 miles north-east), Chichester (7 miles north), Littlehampton (12 miles north-east), Emsworth (10 miles north-west), Rustington (13 miles north-east) and Angmering (15 miles north-east). Being one of West Sussex’s larger places, Selsey has lots of places where the van can park.
Well-known places in the area include Selsey Lifeboat Museum (0.5 miles south-east).
- Local schools include The Academy (within half a mile north-west) and The Academy (less than half a mile north-west)
- Local pubs include The Fisherman's Joy Public House (less than half a mile south)
How the day works
Expect a friendly, organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, set up where we’ve agreed, and get on with frying and serving. Long summer days in Selsey, with light until about 9:20pm, suit evening wraps outdoors.
- Get in touch with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- A photo of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for the crew.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Before we arrive
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Clear the route for the van
- Confirm the van is allowed on site

Planning help
Diets, allergies and planning
A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Here’s how:
- Update numbers if they change
- Arrange something for anyone with needs we can’t meet
- Send the unit base address and directions
- Tell us about coeliac crew specifically
We set up at the unit base ahead of lunch, out of the way.
A gazebo by the van keeps the line dry.
