How our film set catering works in Bexon
Everything is cooked as crew come up, so lunch is hot and fresh. Typical bookings include unit base lunches and event crews, with cod and chips, pie and chips and sausage and chips.
Near Bexon, 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.
Bexon: your questions answered
What’s the nearest station to Bexon?
Sittingbourne station, about 2.9 miles north of the centre.
How far is Bexon from London?
Roughly 37 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Where does the van go on location?
Usually, if there’s level, firm ground. Locations will decide where.
Is the food cooked at the event?
It is. We cook inside the van, so food is cooked there and then, rather than made in advance.
Is the fish gluten-free?
No, not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Let us know and we will tell you what we can do.
What does it cost to hire the van?
Every booking is quoted individually, so the price fits what you need. Give us your date, numbers and serving time and we’ll reply with a price.
What if lunch moves?
Schedules move, and we plan for it. Keep us updated and we will adapt.
What if we only have street parking?
It depends on the road. A drive, car park or yard is normally easier; for the street, check the council’s rules.
Where the van can park in Bexon
No two venues are the same, so we will ask about yours before we confirm. In general, we need:
- Light near the van if needed
- A route in the van can manage, with no low branches or tight lanes
- Away from the shooting area’s sound
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
Popular choices

How it works
We arrive in good time before you want to eat, park the van and get the fryers going. Crew typically gather round the hatch as soon as we open. Daylight is short on winter shoots near Bexon: sunset is about 3:50pm, so lunch at base is often in daylight but a wrap meal isn’t.
- Tell us what you are planning and when you’d like to eat.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks, and how it gets in.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
How to prepare
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Let us know who to talk to on the day

Food your guests will love
Sausage and chips
For anyone who doesn’t fancy fish, there’s sausage and chips, and it’s a favourite with children.
Haddock and chips
Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.
Planning for dietary needs
Most events have a few crew with dietary needs. To look after them:
- Name a contact in the production office
- Ask for dietary needs on the crew info form
- Confirm allergies by email
- Send final numbers the day before
We take our used oil and waste with us.
Pre-orders from the crew help on tight breaks.

Takeaway run or book a van?
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is normally the easier option.
What a fish and chip van costs
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- The date and time of year
- Any minimum charge
- The length of service
- Travel, tolls and road charges
Most vans have a minimum charge, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. We will tell you up front.
