Book the van in Shripney
How it works
Setting up takes a little while, because the oil has to come up to temperature, so we always arrive well ahead of your serving time. Light in Shripney lasts until about 9:20pm at midsummer; for dawn calls or late wraps, plan lighting at base.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- Show us where the van would go, and we’ll confirm it works.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for the crew.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Preparing for the day
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park

Film set catering in Shripney, fried fresh
A chip van is a popular crew treat on a long shoot, alongside regular catering. For location shoots and seaside and period locations, we can cook mushy peas, cod and chips and pie and chips and more.
Near Shripney, crews may be miles from anywhere to eat, so lunch at base matters. We keep the menu short: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.

Questions from Shripney
Is Shripney too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Which station is closest to Shripney?
The closest is Bognor Regis station, roughly 1.7 miles away.
Do we need to provide anything?
Let us know about power and water at the site when you enquire, and we’ll say what we need.
What do you bring?
Everything is cooked in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site and we’ll confirm what we need.
What happens if it rains?
We carry on in the rain, because the cooking happens inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
Can you cater for allergies?
Let us know about allergies in advance, and we will tell you what’s in each item and what we can offer.
What if lunch moves?
Yes. Give us a contact for changes, and we will adjust where possible.
How long will the queue be?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Give us your numbers and service window, and we’ll plan service around it.
The menu, dish by dish
Haddock and chips
Some people swear by haddock: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.
Pie and chips
Pie and chips is hearty and filling, and it’s a favourite in colder months.
