How our film set catering works in Sutton Green
We need a level, firm spot at base, and a clear route in. We are frequently asked to cater fashion shoots on location and crew morale days, serving haddock and chips, sausage and chips and cod and chips.
Rural locations near Sutton Green can be a long way from food, so lunch at base matters. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer before you book.
How the day works
The first sign we have arrived is typically the smell. After that, it is a steady flow to the hatch. Long summer days in Sutton Green, with light until about 9:20pm, suit evening wraps outdoors, while by late September it’s nearer 7:05pm.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks, and how it gets in.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Before we arrive
- Give us a contact for the day
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
- Share the timings for the day

DIY versus a fish and chip van

DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.

Questions to ask before booking
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- How much space the van takes up
- What the price includes, item by item
- How long service runs, and what happens if you overrun
How we price a fish and chip van for the crew
Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:
- How many people are eating
- Distance and any road charges
- Whether a minimum applies
- Service time
There is no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. We set everything out in your quote.
What to tell us
To check availability and price, we need:
- Your date and serving time
- A picture of where the van would go
- The venue or postcode
- Expected numbers
Getting a quote is simple: share your date, address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat. We’ll come back with a clear quote.
For planners, venues and organisers
If you are booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we will talk you through the process. We are happy to liaise with facilities on parking and timings.

Common questions in Sutton Green
Is Sutton Green close to London?
About 25 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Do you come out to small places like Sutton Green?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
How fast is service?
Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. We will talk it through when we quote.
Can you work to the call sheet?
We expect changes. Keep us updated and we will adapt.
Where can the van park?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, close to where people will eat, with room for a queue at the hatch. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
What food do you serve?
The classics: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.
Do you clear up afterwards?
The pitch is left as we found it. Bins for crew are worth planning.
Can the van park on grass?
Frequently, if the ground is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
Diets, allergies and planning
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. Our advice:
- Arrange something for anyone with needs we can’t meet
- Share the base location and route
- Collect diets and allergies with crew details
- Tell us about coeliac crew specifically
We work to the lunch time on the call sheet, with a contact for changes.
A chip van wrap party is a great way to finish a shoot.
