A chip van near Boughton Corner
Film set catering in Boughton Corner, fried fresh
A chip van fits right in at seaside locations. On the menu are haddock and chips, pie and chips and cod and chips, and typical bookings are for crew morale days and seaside shoots.
Rural locations near Boughton Corner can be a long way from food, so lunch at base matters. You will know what’s included before booking: the date, the service time and the menu, with no surprises on the day.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is usually simpler.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
Space, access and the venue
The right spot keeps everyone safe and the service smooth. We look for:
- Permission for the van at base
- Far enough from set to keep noise down
- A route in the van can manage, with no low branches or tight lanes
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.

Diets, allergies and planning
We take allergies seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Agree how the base is left
- Put allergy details in writing
- Name a contact in the production office
- Let us know about coeliac disease
After service, we pack up and get out of the way.
Bins at base keep the location clean.
What affects the price in Boughton Corner
Fish and chip van pricing is simple once we know the basics:
- The date and time of year
- How many people are eating
- Whether a minimum applies
- Distance and any road charges
Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so it helps to give us the postcode.
Details that help
When you get in touch, it helps to tell us:
- The date and time of the event
- A picture of where the van would go
- The spot you have in mind for the van
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
Still finalising the details? That is fine: give us a rough idea and the date, and we will quote on that. Start when you’re ready: use our quote form.
How the day works
Your timings come first. If the day runs behind, we hold off cooking until you are ready, so the food is still fresh when it is served. Daylight is short on winter shoots near Boughton Corner: sunset is about 3:50pm, so lunch at base is frequently in daylight but a wrap meal is not.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Have a level parking spot ready
How to get a price
We only need a few details to quote: date, address, numbers and serving time. To send them, use our quote form.

Common questions in Boughton Corner
Can the van go to venues in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Is Boughton Corner too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes. The fryers are in the van, so food is cooked there and then, rather than made in advance.
Which areas do you serve?
London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Boughton Corner.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
It depends on the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and we will advise.
Do you need power or water?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Tell us whether there’s power or water nearby and we’ll take it from there.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Let us know about coeliac crew in advance, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible.
What if the weather’s bad?
We cook inside the van, so rain doesn’t stop us. It’s worth planning some cover for the queue.
Why choose a fish and chip van in Boughton Corner?
Takeaway rarely reaches a location hot. The van cooks on site. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and access to the site. Every booking gets its own quote.
