Film set catering in Borough Green, fried fresh
A chip van is a popular crew treat on a long shoot. Popular choices include pie and chips, cod and chips and haddock and chips, and we’re regularly asked to cater event crews and crew lunches at base.
Around Borough Green, locations can be rural. Let us know about access. Food is served straight from the hatch, so it’s hot and generous, and the queue keeps moving.
How it works
It’s a relaxed, well-organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, set up where we have agreed, and cook and serve without fuss. Light in Borough Green lasts until about 9:20pm at midsummer; for dawn calls or late wraps, plan lighting at base.
- The production office sends us the location, dates, numbers and lunch time.
- We check the route and the unit base and send a price.
- Parking and arrival are agreed with locations.
- We serve hot from the hatch when lunch is called.
- We clear up and get out of the way.
How to prepare
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue

Planning help
Is a fish and chip van right for your shoot?
Long shoots usually need a full catering unit. A chip van suits short shoots and treat days. There’s no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. We set everything out in your quote.

Working with your venue
Organising a club, school or community event in Borough Green? Fish and chips is a reliable crowd-pleaser. Tell us about the event and we’ll take it from there.
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can hold the date.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is normally the easier option.
Before you choose a spot
We’ll agree the van’s spot with you before the day. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- A hardstanding spot at the unit base
- Access checked by locations
- Light near the van if needed
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.

Borough Green questions
How far is Borough Green from London?
Roughly 23 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Do you come 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.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Let us know about coeliac crew in advance, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer.
What if the weather’s bad?
We cook inside the van, so rain does not stop us. Crew will appreciate cover near the hatch.
Can you work to the call sheet?
We can. Give us a contact for changes, and we’ll work around changes where we can.
Where do you take the van?
We cover London and the South East, including Kent. Find your area.
What paperwork do you provide?
Every production asks for different things, so send us the list and we’ll go through it.
Do you cover Borough Green?
Yes. We take the van across London and the South East, including Borough Green and the rest of Kent. To check your date, use our quote form.
