Film set catering for your shoot in West Kingston
Schedules move, so give us a contact on the day and we’ll adjust where we can. Whether it is end-of-shoot parties and unit base lunches, we’ll put together a menu of mushy peas, haddock and chips and cod and chips.
Rural locations near West Kingston 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.

The coast is within about 4 miles of West Kingston, and coastal unit bases can be exposed.
Shoots anywhere in BN16 start with a parking spot for the van and roughly how many crew. We can serve a shoot on streets such as Coastal Road and Golden Acre, as long as there’s somewhere for the van. Nearby, we also serve shoots in Angmering-on-Sea (1 mile west), Kingston Gorse (1 mile east), East Preston (1 mile north-west), Ferring (1 mile east) and Hangleton (1 mile north-east).

What affects the price in West Kingston
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, because of:
- Parking and the way in
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- Distance and any road charges
- Whether a minimum applies
Most vans have a minimum charge, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. Ask us what applies to your shoot.

When you contact us, it helps to tell us:
- The venue or postcode
- The date and time of the event

- Where you’d like the van to go

What happens on the day
A typical booking goes like this: the van arrives and we set up, the fryers heat up, and food goes out hot when you’re ready to eat. Long summer days in West Kingston, with light until about 9:20pm, suit evening wraps outdoors.
- Tell us what you’re planning and when you’d like to eat.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
Before we arrive
- Get permission for the van from the venue
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
- Plan where the queue will stand

Takeaway run or book a van?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
