Book the van in Denton
Film set catering in Denton, fried fresh
We need a level, firm spot at base, and a route the van can manage. We serve pie and chips, sausage and chips and cod and chips, and typical bookings are for seaside shoots and fashion shoots on location.
Near Denton, base may be a field or yard, so ground conditions matter. You will know what’s included before booking: serving times, the menu and anything else agreed, with no surprises on the day.
The process
Nothing is cooked before it is needed. Fish is battered and fried when people come up to the hatch, so it is as fresh as from any chip shop. On a winter shoot near Denton, the light goes by about 3:50pm, so the unit base needs lighting for late service. In summer, light lasts until about 9:20pm.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
Before we arrive
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
- Have a level parking spot ready
- Share the timings for the day

FAQs for Denton
Could you trade in Northfleet Urban Country Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council. Ask them first.
What’s the nearest station to Denton?
The closest is Gravesend station, roughly 1.2 miles away.
Do you need power or water?
Tell us what’s available at the site in your enquiry, and we’ll say what we need.
Is there a non-fish option?
Yes: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.
Can the van park on grass?
Normally, if it’s firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.

We do. Denton is one of the places we cover. Send us your date to check availability.
What will the production need?
Send us your supplier requirements.
Can you serve children?
Of course. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Include children in your numbers.
A fish and chip van or other catering?
Wrap parties add up. A van keeps it relaxed and simple. Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so it helps to give us the postcode.

Food your guests will love
