How our film set catering works in Warningcamp
Call times change, so give us a contact on the day and we will adjust where we can. For unit base lunches and commercials and music videos, we will put together a menu of mushy peas, pie and chips and haddock and chips.
Near Warningcamp, crews may be miles from anywhere to eat, so a van at base is a big help. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.

How it works
On the day, we position the van, set up the hatch and get the fryers up to temperature. Then everything is fried to order, timed around your shoot. Light in Warningcamp lasts until about 9:20pm at midsummer; for early or late service, base needs lighting.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive in good time to set up.
- Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.
Preparing for the day
- Give us a contact for the day
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue

Common questions in Warningcamp
What’s the nearest station to Warningcamp?
Arundel station, about 1 mile west of the centre.
Can you serve near the sea around Warningcamp?
Yes, of course. Wind does not affect the fryers, but plan a sheltered spot for the queue.
What if the weather’s bad?
Rain doesn’t stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. Crew will appreciate cover near the hatch.
How much is fish and chip van hire?
We quote for each booking, based on your numbers and timings. Give us your date, numbers and serving time for a clear quote.
Do you cover Warningcamp?
We do. Warningcamp is one of the places we cover. Send us your date to check availability.
Can the van park on the street?
It depends on the road. Off-road parking is typically simpler; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
What can crew choose from?
Chip-shop favourites: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes. We cook inside the van, so it’s fried on the spot, rather than made in advance.

About the food
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips is the go-to for anyone who is not a fish fan, especially with curry sauce.
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it’s the favourite in much of the south. We batter it and fry it to order.
What a fish and chip van costs
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- Numbers
- Service time
- Any minimum charge
- Cod, haddock or both
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and access to the site. We quote for each booking individually.
What we need to know
When you get in touch, it helps to tell us:
- The spot you have in mind for the van
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
- A picture of where the van would go
- The date and time of the event
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: where the van would park, how to get in, numbers and timings. A picture of the spot helps too. When you’re ready, use our quote form.
Organising for someone else?
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will work through them with you.
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we will explain how it works. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.

- Update numbers if they change
