Fresh fish and chips in Warnford
Film set catering for your shoot in Warnford
We work with your location manager or production office on access, parking and timings. Whether it is seaside shoots and live events and broadcasts, we will put together a menu of sausage and chips, pie and chips and cod and chips and more.
Rural locations near Warnford can be a long way from food, so a van at base is a big help. 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.

FAQs for Warnford
How far is Warnford from London?
Roughly 56 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Do you come to venues in the South Downs National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Do we need to provide anything?
Tell us what’s available at the site in your enquiry, and we’ll say what we need.
Do we need to provide equipment?
Everything is cooked in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site.
What does the van need?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, close to where people will eat, with room for a queue at the hatch. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
Can you cook in the rain?
We cook inside the van, so rain does not stop us. It is worth planning some cover for the queue.

We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.
Can you park at the unit base?
Yes, on level ground at base; we will check the route.

- Ask for dietary needs on the crew info form
