About our film set catering in Westhampnett
Location shoots, commercials and wrap parties all suit a chip van. We are frequently asked to cater ad shoots and event crews, serving haddock and chips, mushy peas and pie and chips.
Near Westhampnett, crews may be miles from anywhere to eat, so lunch at base matters. We bring the van and everything we need to cook, and we leave the pitch tidy when we go.

How the day works
Your timings come first. If things run late, we simply start frying a little later, so nothing is cooked before it is needed. On a winter shoot near Westhampnett, the light goes by about 4:00pm, so the unit base needs lighting for late service. In summer, light lasts until about 9:20pm.
- First, tell us about your shoot.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for the crew.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.
Preparing for the day
- Have a level parking spot ready
- Get permission for the van from the venue
- Let us know who to talk to on the day

Westhampnett: your questions answered
Can you serve near the sea around Westhampnett?
Yes. The cooking is inside the van, so wind does not affect it, but the queue will want shelter.
Do you come out to small places like Westhampnett?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
What happens if it rains?
We cook inside the van, so rain doesn’t stop us. Crew will appreciate cover near the hatch.
Do you do wrap parties?
Yes, and crews love it. Tell us the details.
What areas do you cover?
We take the van across London and the South East, including West Sussex. Find your area.
What if we only have street parking?
That depends on local parking rules. Off-road parking is typically simpler; for the street, check the council’s rules.
What about crew who don’t eat fish?
There is: sausages and pies, with chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
What will the production need?
Every production asks for different things, so send us the list and we will go through it.
