Film set catering in Streat, cooked to order
We cater location shoots, unit bases, commercials, music videos and wrap parties. We serve mushy peas, sausage and chips and cod and chips, and we are regularly asked to cater wrap celebrations and location filming.
For a shoot in a place like Streat, tracks and soft ground need checking with locations. Food is served straight from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and service is quick once we’re up and running.

Gravy
Gravy brings a bit of warmth to the meal, especially in winter.
Streat questions
Is Streat too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
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 coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Let us know about coeliac crew in advance, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer.
Do you fry it on site?
It is. The fryers are in the van, so food is cooked there and then, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
Can you adjust to schedule changes?
We expect changes. Keep us updated and we will adapt.
What do we need to supply?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Mention any power or water available and we will take it from there.
Do you have documents for productions?
Productions vary, so send us the list.
Can the van park on the street?
That depends on local parking rules. Off-road parking is normally simpler; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
Where the van can park in Streat
Plenty of places work for the van, but a few things matter:
- Access checked by locations
- A queue area clear of trucks

For planners, venues and organisers
Parks, greens and streets typically need permission for a catering van. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Sending people up in groups helps.
