About the food
Curry sauce
Curry sauce divides opinion and it is on the menu.
Pie and chips
A pie and chips is proper comfort food, and it’s especially welcome on a cold day.
Film set catering for your shoot in Twineham
On a long job, a chip van day is a morale boost. For treat days on a long shoot and fashion shoots on location, we can cook pie and chips, sausage and chips and cod and chips.
Near Twineham, check tracks and ground for the van. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet, and served the moment it comes out of the fryer.

How the day works
When we arrive, we park up on the agreed spot, set up and heat the fryers. Then everything is fried to order, so we time it to your schedule. At midsummer, Twineham has light until about 9:20pm, while by late September it’s nearer 7:05pm.
- It starts with the unit base, dates and numbers.
- You get an access check and a quote.
- We arrange the van’s spot at the unit base with locations.
- We cook to order through the crew’s lunch break.
- Afterwards we pack up and leave the unit base clean.
Before we arrive
- Keep space clear for crew at the hatch
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day

Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is generally simpler.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.

FAQs for Twineham
Is Twineham too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
What’s the nearest station to Twineham?
Burgess Hill station, about 3.7 miles east of the centre.
What if we only have street parking?
That depends on local parking rules. A drive, car park or yard is usually easier; for the street, check the council’s rules.
What does it cost to hire the van?
Every booking is quoted individually, based on your numbers and timings. Give us your date, numbers and serving time for a clear quote.
Do you have allergen information?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Tell us about allergies in advance.
What can crew choose from?
Fish and chips, of course, plus sausage or pie and chips. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.
Can the van come to Twineham?
Yes, we do. Twineham is one of the places we cover. Tell us your date and we’ll check availability.
Can you work to the call sheet?
We can. Tell us the lunch time and a contact on the day, and we’ll adjust where possible.
Allergies and dietary needs
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. Our advice:
- Give us a contact for call-time changes
- Ask for dietary needs on the crew info form
- Tell us about coeliac crew specifically
- Send the unit base address and directions
A short menu keeps the line moving.
End the shoot with a chip van wrap.
For planners, venues and organisers
Planning an event for a club, school or charity in Twineham? A fish and chip van draws people in and almost everyone likes it. Tell us about the event and we’ll take it from there.
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can hold the date.
How we price a fish and chip van for the crew
There’s nothing hidden: the price is based on:
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- How easy the site is to reach
- Whether a minimum applies
Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. We’ll tell you up front.
