Film set catering in Warminghurst
Working with your venue
Parks, greens and streets typically need permission for a catering van. Ask the council or landowner early.
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Staggering groups helps a lot.
How our film set catering works in Warminghurst
The van needs level, firm ground at the unit base, and a clear route in. Typical bookings include photo shoots and unit base lunches, with cod and chips, haddock and chips and sausage and chips.
Near Warminghurst, crews may be miles from anywhere to eat, so lunch at base matters. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your shoot, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
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 nobody has to miss the shoot.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Why choose a fish and chip van in Warminghurst?
Compared with sandwiches on set, a chip van gives the crew a proper hot meal. Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so it helps to give us the postcode.

Warminghurst: your questions answered
Which station is closest to Warminghurst?
The closest is Pulborough station, roughly 4.7 miles away.
Is Warminghurst close to London?
About 41 miles from central London.
Is grass a problem?
Usually, if it is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
What if we only have street parking?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Check with your council first.
Where can the van park?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, close to where people will eat, and space for a queue. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
Can you cook in the rain?
The weather does not stop the van, because the fryers are inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
What can crew choose from?
Chip-shop favourites: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
No, not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Tell us about any coeliac crew and we will explain the options.
