How our film set catering works in Yapton
Schedules move, so a contact on the day helps and we will work around it. Typical bookings include location filming and seaside shoots, with haddock and chips, cod and chips and mushy peas.
Near Yapton, base may be a field or yard, so ground conditions matter. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.

Yapton questions
Can the van go to venues in the South Downs National Park?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Is Yapton close to London?
Roughly 52 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Can the van come to our wrap?
Yes. A chip van suits a relaxed wrap party.
Is everything cooked fresh?
It is. The fryers are in the van, so food is cooked there and then, rather than made in advance.
How long are you on site?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
What paperwork do you provide?
Send us your supplier requirements.
What food do you serve?
Chip-shop favourites: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.
What if the weather’s bad?
The weather does not stop the van, because the fryers are inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
Allergies and dietary needs
A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Try these:
- Send the unit base address and directions
- Plan an alternative for anyone we cannot cater for
- Add an allergy question to crew forms
- Give us a contact for call-time changes
Fewer choices mean faster service.
Tables or a marquee at base make lunch comfortable.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Where the van can park in Yapton
We will agree the van’s spot with you before the day. It needs to tick a few simple boxes:
- A clear route to base
- Light near the van if needed
- Agreement from the location manager and landowner
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

How we price a fish and chip van for the crew
These are the factors that matter most:
- The minimum booking
- Parking and the way in
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- Service time
Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so it helps to give us the postcode.
What to tell us
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- Roughly how many people, including children
Still finalising the details? That’s fine: tell us the basics about your shoot, and we’ll firm it up nearer the time. To start, fill in our quote form.
Planning a shoot in Yapton
Yapton is about 4 miles north-east of Bognor Regis, in West Sussex. For shoots in Yapton, the van can park on drives, in car parks and yards, and on firm lawns and fields. Yapton is one of 371 towns and villages in West Sussex we cover. Our bookings stretch from Yapton to Brighton (about 21 miles away).
Yapton is roughly 52 miles from central London, within easy reach for London-based crews. Crew coming by rail can use the station: Barnham station, about 1.5 miles north-west, is the nearest station. The South Downs National Park is within about 7 miles of Yapton, and locations in protected landscapes often have rules about vehicles. With the sea within about 4 miles, coastal shoots need a sheltered base.
Wherever your shoot is in BN18, we can fry fresh for your crew, from busy streets to quiet lanes. From Church Road, Dunnock Square and Charles Square or a nearby road, we will bring the van to you. With the B2132 close by, Yapton is simple for us to get to with the van. If your venue is just outside Yapton, we also cover Bilsham (1 mile south), Barnham (1 mile north-west), Flansham (2 miles south-west), West Barnham (2 miles north-west) and Walberton (2 miles north). Larger places within reach include Worthing (9 miles east), Bognor Regis (4 miles south-west), Chichester (7 miles west), Selsey (10 miles south-west), Littlehampton (4 miles east) and Shoreham-by-Sea (15 miles east).
Other landmarks nearby include Bognor Regis Museum (3.9 miles south-west) and Arundel and District Hospital (3.2 miles north-east). Within reach you will find WWT Arundel.
- Nearby schools include St Philip Howard Catholic High School (1.8 miles north-west)
Step by step
Nothing is cooked before it is needed. Fish is battered and fried when people come up to the hatch, which is why it tastes like it does at the seaside. Winter shoots near Yapton chase the light, which goes at about 4:00pm in December, so lunch at base is frequently in daylight but a wrap meal is not.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Have a level parking spot ready
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
