About our film set catering in Town Row
A van can get a crew fed quickly within the lunch break, without needing a kitchen on location. On the menu are haddock and chips, pie and chips and cod and chips, and typical bookings are for lunch at the unit base and shoots on location.
Rural locations near Town Row can be a long way from food, so lunch at base matters. We cook inside the van, right where your crew are, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.

Among the historic houses close to Town Row are Wadhurst Castle (4.4 miles east). Period locations like these normally keep vehicles well away from the house, so agree the base early.

Town Row is within about 3 miles of the High Weald National Landscape, so check vehicle rules with locations.

A chip van compared with other options
Long shoots generally need a full catering unit. A chip van suits short shoots and treat days. Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so it helps to give us the postcode.
What you get with us
- Rain does not stop the fryers
- No kitchen, no crockery, no washing up
- Classic food your crew already know
- The classic sides: peas, curry sauce and gravy
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
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 you get to enjoy the day.
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.
How it works
Nothing gathers a crowd like the smell of fish and chips. Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, with chips cooked in batches as the queue moves. Winter shoots near Town Row chase the light, which goes at about 3:55pm in December, so lunch at base is frequently in daylight but a wrap meal is not.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for the crew.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
How to prepare
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
- Plan where the queue will stand
How to get a price
We only need a few details to quote: date, address, numbers and serving time. To send them, send us your details through our quote form.

Questions from Town Row
Can the van go to venues in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We’ll follow the site rules.
What’s the nearest station to Town Row?
The closest is Crowborough station, roughly 2 miles away.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
Generally, if it is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.

We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Tell us about other diets and we will be honest about what’s possible.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes. We fry to order in the van at your venue, then handed over hot from the hatch.
Who clears up?
We clear the van’s area after service. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.
How long are you on site?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
What do you bring?
Everything is cooked in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site and we will confirm what we need.
