Film set catering for your shoot in Biggin Hill
Food is fried to order, so it’s hot when the break is called. On the menu are mushy peas, cod and chips and sausage and chips, and we are often booked for music video shoots and unit base lunches.
Shoots in Biggin Hill frequently use streets, yards and car parks as unit bases. Locations will have the parking arrangements, often with council permission. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.

Looking after everyone
Most events have a few crew with dietary needs. To look after them:
- Flag any coeliac crew
- Add an allergy question to crew forms
- Name a contact in the production office
- Confirm allergies by email
We clear up quickly after lunch.
A dining area at base helps.
For planners, venues and organisers
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan service to match. Staggering groups helps a lot.
Parks, greens and streets usually need permission for a catering van. Ask the council or landowner early.

A closer look at the menu
Cod and chips

What a fish and chip van costs
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Service time
- The day of the week
- Numbers
- Parking and the way in
There is no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. We set everything out in your quote.
Getting an accurate quote
Here’s what makes a quick, accurate quote possible:
- Where you’d like the van to go
- Anything awkward about the way in
- Dietary needs, with numbers
- The address or venue name
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: where the van would park, how to get in, numbers and timings. A photo of the spot helps too. When you are ready, fill in our quote form.
Step by step
Here’s how the day generally runs: the van arrives and we set up, the fryers heat up, and food goes out hot at the agreed time. Light in Biggin Hill lasts until about 9:20pm at midsummer; for dawn calls or late wraps, plan lighting at base.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for the crew.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Preparing for the day
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely

Planning help
Space, access and the venue
No two venues are the same, so we will ask about yours when you contact us. Generally, we look for:
- Level, firm ground at base
- A queue area clear of trucks
- A route in the van can manage, with no low branches or tight lanes
As a London location, Biggin Hill is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about off-street space or permits.
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
