- How far we travel
- How easy the site is to reach

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. Ask us for a quote and compare.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the shoot.
What the van needs
Most drives, car parks, yards and firm lawns can take the van, but a few things matter:
- Away from the shooting area’s sound
- Space in front of the hatch
- A hardstanding spot at the unit base
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly before you book.
From the hatch
- Haddock and chips
- Pie and chips
- Crew lunches
- Sausage and chips

Which station is closest to Stone Cross?
The closest is Pevensey & Westham station, roughly 1.3 miles away.
Do you come to venues in the South Downs National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We will work to whatever the site needs.
Can the van park on the street?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Ask your council early.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Let us know about coeliac crew in advance, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer.
What if lunch moves?
Schedules move, and we plan for it. A contact on the day is all we need.
Can you cater for allergies?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Tell us about allergies in advance.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
What do we need to supply?
Let us know about power and water at the site in your enquiry, and we’ll say what we need.
