About our film set catering in Brenzett
Schedules move, so a contact on the day helps and we will adjust where we can. Whether it’s crew lunches at base and wrap parties, we’ll put together a menu of sausage and chips, haddock and chips and mushy peas for your guests.
Rural locations near Brenzett can be a long way from food, so lunch at base matters. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer.

Appledore (Kent) station, about 2.3 miles north-west of the centre.

Yes. Just tell us who counts.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. Bins for crew are worth planning.

Curry sauce
Some people will not eat chips without curry sauce, so we bring it along.
What else we do in Brenzett
A chip van compared with other options
A wrap party at a venue costs more. A van keeps it relaxed and simple. Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. We set everything out in your quote.
Why Brenzett hosts choose us
- Hot food handed straight over
- No kitchen, no crockery, no washing up
- Rain doesn’t stop the fryers
- A van that becomes part of the event
Planning for dietary needs
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Here’s how:
- Send final numbers the day before
- Arrange something for anyone with needs we cannot meet
- Ask for dietary needs on the crew info form
- Plan bins and waste at base
After service, we pack up and get out of the way.
Tables or a marquee at base make lunch comfortable.
The process
Nothing gathers a crowd like the smell of fish and chips. Each piece of fish is battered and fried to order, with chips cooked in batches as the queue moves. At midsummer, Brenzett has light until about 9:15pm, while by late September it is nearer 7:00pm.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check the route in and send a price.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.
Preparing for the day
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Let us know the serving time
Getting a price
It is 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.
Planning help
For planners, venues and organisers
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we will explain how it works. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
Should I sort the food myself?
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
