Book the van in Winton
Step by step
We get there well before service, set up and bring the oil up to temperature. Your crew can wander over to the hatch once service starts. At midsummer, Winton has light until about 9:15pm.
- Get in touch with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for the crew.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Before we arrive
- Keep space clear for crew at the hatch
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
- Let us know who to talk to on the day

Film set catering for your shoot in Winton
Locations and the production office can deal with us directly. We serve pie and chips, cod and chips and mushy peas, and we’re regularly asked to cater ad shoots and crew lunches at base.
Near Winton, crews may be miles from anywhere to eat, so lunch at base matters. We cook inside the van, right where your crew are, so the batter is still crisp when it’s handed over.

Mushy peas

Winton: your questions answered
Do you come to venues in the South Downs National Park?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We will work to whatever the site needs.
Do you come out to small places like Winton?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Can the van come to our wrap?
Yes. It’s a great way to end a shoot.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. Tell us your timings and we’ll advise.
What if the weather’s bad?
The weather does not stop the van, because the cooking happens inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
Where does the van go on location?
Yes, on level ground at base.
Do you have allergen information?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Tell us about allergies in advance.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and send a photo if you can.
