How our film set catering works in South Godstone
A van can get a crew fed quickly within the lunch break, without needing a kitchen on location. Whether it is period dramas on location and treat days on a long shoot, we can cook cod and chips, pie and chips and sausage and chips and more.
Rural locations near South Godstone can be a long way from food, so lunch at base matters. Your quote spells out what’s included: serving times, the menu and anything else agreed.
Should I sort the food myself?
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
What a fish and chip van costs
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- The number of meals
- Whether a minimum applies
- Parking and the way in
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
Got a budget? Let us know, and we will suggest a menu and timing to match. A short menu is frequently the best value.
What to tell us
You don’t need every detail fixed to get a quote, but it helps to know:
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- Dietary needs, with numbers
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
- A photo of the parking spot
Send us the date, the address or RH9 postcode and rough numbers, along with your serving time, and we will reply with a quote. To get started, use our quote form.

Step by step
Nothing is cooked before it is needed. Each portion is battered and fried as it’s ordered, so it’s as fresh as from any chip shop. In December, daylight in South Godstone ends around 3:55pm, so a late lunch or wrap at base needs lighting. In summer, light lasts until about 9:20pm.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for the crew.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Getting ready for the day
- Have a level parking spot ready
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
