Location catering around Conyer
Conyer is about 4 miles east of Sittingbourne, in Kent. Wherever your shoot is in the ME9 area, we can fry fresh for your crew. We take the van to 922 places in Kent. Our nearest city page is Canterbury, about 12 miles away.
For crew arriving by train, the closest railway station is Teynham station, roughly 1.1 miles south of the centre.
We serve shoots across ME9 and the streets around it. Local streets include North Quay and Conyer Road; a shoot on any of them works well with a drive or nearby car park. Nearby, we also serve shoots in Teynham Street (1 mile south-east), Deerton Street (1 mile south-east), Teynham (1 mile south), Norton Ash (2 miles south) and Lewson Street (2 miles south). We also serve nearby towns such as Maidstone (14 miles south-west), Ashford (15 miles south), Canterbury (12 miles south-east), Sittingbourne (4 miles west), Whitstable (9 miles east) and Faversham (4 miles south-east).
A little further out are Dolphin Sailing Barge Museum (3.1 miles west) and Castle Rough (2.8 miles west).
About our film set catering in Conyer
Food is fried to order, so it’s hot when the break is called. Typical bookings include seaside shoots and lunch at the unit base, with cod and chips, haddock and chips and pie and chips.
For a shoot in a place like Conyer, tracks and soft ground need checking with locations. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we will be straight with you about what we can do before you book.
Diets, allergies and planning
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. We suggest:
- Confirm allergies by email
- Give us a map or what3words for base
- Ensure we can reach locations on the day
- Have a back-up for special diets
We arrive at base in good time and set up.
End the shoot with a chip van wrap.
Conyer: your questions answered
Is Conyer too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Is Conyer close to London?
About 41 miles from central London, and well within our area.
How much space do you need?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, close to where people will eat, with room for a queue at the hatch. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
How do you handle allergies?
Let us know about allergies in advance, and we will tell you what’s in each item and what we can offer.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes, always. Everything is fried fresh in the van, then handed over hot from the hatch.
Do numbers include extras?
Yes, if they’re in your numbers. Confirm numbers the day before.
Is there a non-fish option?
We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Tell us about other diets and we will be honest about what’s possible.
What areas do you cover?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
Food your guests will love
Haddock and chips
Some people swear by haddock: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Tell us if you’d like to offer it.
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips covers anyone who doesn’t want fish, and it’s a favourite with children.
Space, access and the venue
If a spot is not suitable, we’ll tell you. The main points are:
- Permission for the van at base
- Clear of the shot and sound
- Light near the van if needed
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
From the hatch
- Sausage and chips
- Haddock and chips
- Cod and chips
- Crew lunches
- Pie and chips
- Mushy peas
How we price a fish and chip van for the crew
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, depending on:
- Whether a minimum applies
- The number of meals
- How long we serve
- The day of the week
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and access to the site. We quote for each booking individually.
What to tell us
The more we know about your shoot, the better we can plan. Please include:
- The spot you have in mind for the van
- A picture of the parking spot
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- The venue or postcode
Each quote is put together for your shoot. Give us your date first, and we will confirm whether we’re available that day.

For planners, venues and organisers
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will work through them with you.
For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
How the day works
We need a level, firm place to park the van, close to where people will eat, which we agree with you beforehand. On a winter shoot near Conyer, the light goes by about 3:50pm, so a late lunch or wrap at base needs lighting. In summer, light lasts until about 9:15pm.
- It starts with the unit base, dates and numbers.
- We check the route and the unit base and send a price.
- Parking and arrival are agreed with locations.
- We cook to order through the crew’s lunch break.
- Afterwards we pack up and leave the unit base clean.
Preparing for the day
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
