Film set catering in Bogle, cooked to order
On a long shoot day, a good hot lunch keeps morale up. A fish and chip van parks at the unit base and fries to order. We’re often asked to cater outside broadcasts and treat days on a long shoot, serving mushy peas, sausage and chips and haddock and chips.
For a shoot in a place like Bogle, tracks and soft ground need checking with locations. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.
What the van needs
We will agree the van’s spot with you before the day. It needs to tick a few simple boxes:
- Level, firm ground at base
- Access checked by locations
- Lighting for early or late service
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

Bogle: your questions answered
Can the van go to venues in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
How far is Bogle from London?
Roughly 40 miles from the centre of London.
Is there something for children?
Children are very welcome. Tell us how many children, and we’ll plan for them.
How much is fish and chip van hire?
Every booking is quoted individually, based on your numbers and timings. Give us your date, numbers and serving time for a clear quote.
How long will the queue be?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Give us your numbers and service window, and we’ll plan service around it.
Can you cater for allergies?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Tell us about allergies in advance.
What areas do you cover?
We cover London and the South East, including Kent. See all areas.
When do you arrive?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. We’ll agree arrival and serving times with you.
Planning for dietary needs
We take allergies seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Send allergies to us in writing
- Collect diets and allergies with crew details
- Send final numbers the day before
- Agree the waste plan with locations
After service, we pack up and get out of the way.
Pre-orders from the crew help on tight breaks.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
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 is crisp.
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. We are happy to send a quote so you can compare.
How it works
We work to your timings. If the day runs behind, we simply start frying a little later, so the food is still fresh when it is served. Winter shoots near Bogle chase the light, which goes at about 3:50pm in December.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check the route in and send a price.
- We arrive in good time to set up.
- Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.
Getting ready for the day

How to get a price
It’s easy to get a price: share your date, address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat. We will come back with a clear quote.
