About our film set catering in Steven's Crouch
Shoot days are long, and a hot lunch on time matters. We park at the unit base and cook to order. Popular choices include cod and chips, haddock and chips and sausage and chips, and typical bookings are for wrap celebrations and crew treats on long shoot days.
Rural locations near Steven's Crouch can be a long way from food, so lunch at base matters. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.

Your questions about a fish and chip van for the crew in Steven's Crouch
What’s the nearest station to Steven's Crouch?
Battle station, about 2.3 miles east of the centre.
Could you trade in Ashburnham Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council. Check with them first.
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.
Do you clear up afterwards?
The pitch is left as we found it. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
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 to keep the queue moving.
Can the van come to base?
Yes, wherever locations agree.
How much space do you need?
Less than you might think: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, that the van can reach easily. Send us a picture if you’re not sure.
Which areas do you serve?
We take the van across London and the South East, East Sussex included. Find your area.
What affects the price in Steven's Crouch
There’s nothing hidden: the price is based on:
- The menu and how many choices
- The minimum booking
- Service time
- Travel, tolls and road charges
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and access to the site. We quote for each booking individually.
Getting an accurate quote
Here’s what makes a quick, accurate quote possible:
- A picture of the space and the way in
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- The address or venue name
- Your date and serving time
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: where the van would park, how to get in, numbers and timings. Photos of the spot and the way in help. To send your details, fill in our quote form.
Takeaway run or book a van?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.

Food your guests will love
Curry sauce
Curry sauce divides opinion and it is on the menu.
Cod and chips
For many people, cod and chips is the definitive version. Cooked fresh at the hatch, it goes out hot and crisp.
Diets, allergies and planning
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Add an allergy question to crew forms
- Name a contact in the production office
- Let us know about coeliac disease
- Update numbers if they change
Lunch is planned around the call sheet, with a contact for changes.
Cover near the hatch helps on wet days.
Planning the van’s spot
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the spot and the way in before we confirm. Generally, we look for:
- A hardstanding spot at the unit base
- A clear route to base
- Far enough from set to keep noise down
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
