How our film set catering works in East Peckham
Everything is cooked as crew come up, so lunch is hot and fresh. We serve cod and chips, mushy peas and sausage and chips, and typical bookings are for location shoots and crew morale days.
For a shoot in a place like East Peckham, tracks and soft ground need checking. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your shoot, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
A wrap party at a venue costs more. A van makes a relaxed wrap. Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. We set everything out in your quote.
Why book with us
- Bookings across Kent, including East Peckham
- Fish and chips fried fresh on site
- Quick service from the hatch
- A clear quote before booking

Planning a shoot in East Peckham
East Peckham is about 5 miles east of Tonbridge, in Kent. Across the TN12 area, we can fry fresh for your crew. East Peckham is one of 922 towns and villages in Kent where we bring the van. We serve events right across the region, from East Peckham to London (29 miles away).
East Peckham is about 29 miles from central London. Nearby historic houses include Old Soar Manor (4.5 miles north-west). If you are shooting at a historic house, the van will need a base agreed with the property.
We cover shoots in every part of the TN12 postcode area and the streets around it. From Coults Close, Brunswick Close and Fell Mead or anywhere nearby, we can park up and fry there. We also bring the van to shoots in Snoll Hatch (1 mile south-west), Branbridges (1 mile east), Hale Street (1 mile north-east), Peckham Bush (1 mile north) and Little Mill (1 mile south-west). Within a short drive, we also cover Maidstone (7 miles north-east), Sevenoaks (10 miles north-west), Royal Tunbridge Wells (7 miles south-west), Gravesend (15 miles north), Tonbridge (5 miles west) and Northfleet (15 miles north).
A little further out are Tonbridge Cottage Hospital (5.4 miles south-west) and The Hop Farm Museum (1.2 miles south). Green spaces nearby include Tudeley Woods RSPB reserve.
- Local pubs include The Merry Boys pub (less than half a mile south-east)
Food your guests will love
Pie and chips
A pie and chips is proper comfort food, and it’s especially welcome on a cold day.
Haddock and chips
Haddock has loyal fans: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your crew instead.
