Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Long shoots usually need a full catering unit. A van is great for short jobs and crew treats. 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. Your quote spells it all out.
Why book with us
- Served hot, straight from the hatch
- Bookings across Kent, including Boughton Lees
- Fried fresh, not kept warm
- The queue at the hatch gets people talking
About our film set catering in Boughton Lees
A chip van fits right in at seaside locations. We are often asked to cater event crews and ad shoots, serving mushy peas, sausage and chips and haddock and chips.
Rural locations near Boughton Lees can be a long way from food, so lunch at base matters. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, not cooked earlier and kept warm, and handed over as soon as it is ready.
Prices and what affects them
We will give you a clear quote. What affects it most:
- Parking and the way in
- The day of the week
- Whether a minimum applies
- Numbers
Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is frequently good value, as there’s no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. We will send you a quote.
Details that help
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- Anything awkward about the way in
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- The address or venue name
- The spot you have in mind for the van
Send us the date, the address or TN25 postcode and rough numbers, along with your serving time, and you’ll get a clear price. To get started, fill in our quote form.
Takeaway run or book a van?

If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is usually simpler.
