Shooting in Slindon: unit bases and access
Slindon is about 6 miles north-east of Bognor Regis, in West Sussex. We serve shoots at drives, car parks, yards and venues around Slindon. Slindon is one of 371 towns and villages in West Sussex where we bring the van. Our nearest city page is Brighton, about 22 miles away.
Slindon is about 50 miles from central London. Historic houses near Slindon include Bignor Roman Villa (4.3 miles north) and Goodwood House (4.8 miles west). If you are shooting at a historic house, the van will need a base agreed with the property. The South Downs National Park is within about 5 miles of Slindon, and locations in protected landscapes often have rules about vehicles. With the sea within about 6 miles, coastal shoots need a sheltered base, so plan where crew will queue.
Shoots anywhere in BN18 start with a parking spot for the van and roughly how many crew. From School Hill, Dyers Lane and Slindon Top Road or a nearby road, we can park up and fry there. We also bring the van to shoots in Slindon Common (1 mile south-east), Fontwell (1 mile south-west), Avisford (1 mile south-east), Walberton (1 mile south) and Binsted (2 miles south-east). Further out, we also take the van to Worthing (11 miles east), Bognor Regis (6 miles south-west), Chichester (7 miles west), Selsey (11 miles south-west), Littlehampton (6 miles south-east) and Lancing (14 miles east).
Well-known places in the area include Arundel and District Hospital (3 miles east) and Tote Copse Castle (3.4 miles south-west). Open spaces near Slindon include Bignor Hill and WWT Arundel.
- Schools near Slindon include Ormiston Six Villages Academy (2.3 miles south-west)
- Pubs nearby include The Newburgh Arms Public House (less than half a mile east)
Step by step
Nothing is cooked before it is needed. Each portion is battered and fried as it’s ordered, which is why it tastes like it does at the seaside. In December, daylight in Slindon ends around 4:00pm, so a late lunch or wrap at base needs lighting. In summer, light lasts until about 9:20pm.
- Tell us what you’re planning and when you’d like to eat.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
Preparing for the day
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue

Questions from Slindon
Which station is closest to Slindon?
The closest is Barnham station, roughly 2.5 miles away.
Is Slindon too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
How fast is service?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Give us your numbers and service window, and we will plan service around it.
Can you feed visitors on set?
Yes, include them in numbers. Tell us the day before.
Which areas do you serve?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Slindon.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
Generally, if it is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
Who clears up?
The pitch is left as we found it. Bins for crew are worth planning.
Do you do wrap parties?
Yes, and crews love it. Tell us the details.

Before you book anyone
- Any travel, parking or access charges

- How many hours the van serves
- The van’s size and access needs
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Some locations have nowhere to buy food. The van solves that. Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. Ask us what applies to your shoot.

Most events have a few crew with dietary needs. To plan for them:
- Add an allergy question to crew forms
- Arrange something for anyone with needs we can’t meet
- Make sure we can reach locations on the day

We clear up quickly after lunch.
Tables or a marquee at base make lunch comfortable.
