Film set catering in Toddington, cooked to order
A chip van is a popular crew treat on a long shoot, alongside regular catering. On the menu are haddock and chips, pie and chips and cod and chips, and typical bookings are for crew lunches at base and wrap parties.
Around Toddington, locations can be rural. Tell us about the route to base. The menu is short on purpose: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.

Planning a shoot in Toddington
Toddington is about 1 mile north of Littlehampton, in West Sussex. Tell us where your shoot in Toddington will be, and we’ll plan the route and the parking spot before the day. Toddington is one of 371 towns and villages in West Sussex we cover. We serve events right across the region, from Toddington to Brighton (about 18 miles away).

Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.
How the day works
Your timings come first. If things run late, we simply start frying a little later, so nothing is cooked before it’s needed. Daylight is short on winter shoots near Toddington: sunset is about 4:00pm.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance, and how it gets in.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Getting ready for the day
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Let us know the serving time
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van

About the food
Curry sauce
The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, perfect with chips or a sausage.
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips is the go-to for anyone who is not a fish fan.
Allergies and dietary needs
We take allergies seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Plan bins and waste at base
- Put allergy details in writing
- Share the base location and route
- Confirm numbers the day before
Fewer choices mean faster service in a lunch break.
A dining area at base helps.
Common questions in Toddington
Can the van park in Mewsbrook Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council. Ask them first.
What about events near the coast?
Yes. Wind doesn’t affect the fryers, but plan a sheltered spot for the queue.
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 service around it.
What if we only have street parking?
It depends on the road. A drive, car park or yard is typically easier; for the street, check the council’s rules.
How long does set-up take?
We get there in good time to set up. Timings are agreed in advance.
How do you handle allergies?
Tell us about allergies when you book, and we will tell you what’s in each item.
What does it cost to hire the van?
Every booking is quoted individually, so the price fits what you need. Tell us your date and rough numbers and we’ll reply with a price.
Is grass a problem?
Frequently, if the ground is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
Planners, venues and businesses
Parks, greens and streets normally need permission for a catering van. Ask the council or landowner early.
