How our film set catering works in Twineham Green
We need a level, firm spot at base, and a clear route in. We serve pie and chips, sausage and chips and cod and chips, and we are frequently booked for commercials and music videos and seaside shoots.
For a shoot in a place like Twineham Green, tracks and soft ground need checking. Food is served straight from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and the queue keeps moving.

The process
Your timings come first. If the day runs behind, we hold off cooking until you’re ready, so nothing is cooked before it is needed. Sunset in Twineham Green is about 8:50pm in late May, 9:20pm at midsummer and 7:05pm in late September; for dawn calls or late wraps, plan lighting at base.
- First, tell us about your shoot.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for the crew.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue

Should I sort the food myself?
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.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.

Twineham Green questions
Is Twineham Green close to London?
About 37 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Which station is closest to Twineham Green?
The closest is Burgess Hill station, roughly 4 miles away.
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.

Not much: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, that the van can reach easily. If in doubt, send a picture.
What paperwork do you provide?
Send us your supplier requirements.
What happens if it rains?
We cook inside the van, so rain doesn’t stop us. It is worth planning some cover for the queue.
When do you arrive?
We get there in good time to set up. We’ll agree arrival and serving times with you so food is ready when you want it.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes. The fryers are in the van, so it is fried on the spot, rather than made in advance.
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.
