Crew catering near Adisham
Adisham is about 5 miles south-east of Canterbury, in Kent. Whether your shoot is in the middle of Adisham or on the outskirts, the service works the same way: fish and chips fried to order, served hot and quoted clearly. Adisham is one of 922 places in Kent where we bring the van.
Adisham is roughly 58 miles from central London, within easy reach for London-based crews. Nearby historic houses include Goodnestone Park (1.6 miles east). Period locations like these generally keep vehicles well away from the house, so agree the base early. The Kent Downs National Landscape is within about 8 miles of Adisham, and locations in protected landscapes frequently have rules about vehicles.
We take the van to shoots all over the CT3 postcode area and the streets around it. We can serve a shoot on streets such as Station Road, The Street and Church Lane or the roads around them, as long as there is somewhere for the van. Other places close to Adisham we cover include Bloodden (1 mile south-east), Aylesham (1 mile south), Bramling (2 miles north), Bekesbourne (2 miles north-west) and Womenswold (2 miles south). Within a short drive, we also cover Canterbury (5 miles north-west), Margate (13 miles north-east), Dover (9 miles south-east), Folkestone (11 miles south), Ramsgate (12 miles north-east) and Broadstairs (13 miles north-east).
A little further out are St Martins Hospital (4.3 miles north-west).
The process
We get there well before service, park the van and get the fryers going. Crew generally gather round the hatch once service starts. Daylight is short on winter shoots near Adisham: sunset is about 3:50pm, so lunch at base is frequently in daylight but a wrap meal is not.
- We start with a few details about your shoot.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- We cook to order on the day for the crew.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Name one person we can call on the day
- Ensure the van can get in

Diets, allergies and planning
A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Try these:
- Share the base location and route
- Arrange something for anyone with needs we cannot meet
- Put allergy details in writing
- Agree how the base is left
We set up at the unit base ahead of lunch.
A quick pre-order speeds things up.
Should I sort the food myself?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
