Fresh fish and chips in West Clandon
Working with your venue
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
If you’re booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we’ll talk you through the process. We are happy to liaise with facilities on parking and timings.
How our film set catering works in West Clandon
We cater location shoots, unit bases, commercials, music videos and wrap parties. Whether it is crew treats on long shoot days and stills shoots, we will put together a menu of mushy peas, haddock and chips and cod and chips.
Rural locations near West Clandon can be a long way from food, 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.
Why choose a fish and chip van in West Clandon?
Some locations have nowhere to buy food. A van brings lunch to base. Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is often good value, as there’s no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. Ask us for a quote.
Why book our van in West Clandon
- Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy on the side
- Served hot, straight from the hatch

- A menu almost everyone likes

Takeaway run or book a van?
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Before you choose a spot
The van has to be able to get in and park safely, so a few things need checking. Here’s what we look for:
- Permission for the van at base
- A hardstanding spot at the unit base
- Space in front of the hatch
Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly before you book.
What we serve
- Mushy peas
- Crew lunches
- Sausage and chips
- Haddock and chips
- Pie and chips

- Agree how the base is left
- Flag any coeliac crew
- Share the base location and route

A dining area at base helps.

What happens on the day
We don’t cook ahead. Fish is battered and fried when people come up to the hatch, which is why it tastes like it does at the seaside. Long summer days in West Clandon, with light until about 9:20pm, suit evening wraps outdoors, while by late September it is nearer 7:05pm.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check the route in and send a price.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.
