A chip van near Edenbridge
Film set catering in Edenbridge, fried fresh
Seaside and period locations suit a fish and chip van perfectly. We serve mushy peas, cod and chips and haddock and chips, and we’re often booked for end-of-shoot parties and crew treats on long shoot days.
Near Edenbridge, base may be a field or yard. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer.
Before you choose a spot
The van has to be able to get in and park safely, so a few things need checking. These are the things we check:
- Space in front of the hatch
- A level, firm spot at the unit base
- A lit spot for dark mornings or evenings
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

Common questions in Edenbridge
Which station is closest to Edenbridge?
Edenbridge has its own station: Edenbridge Town station.
Is Edenbridge close to London?
Roughly 22 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
What can crew choose from?
Proper fish and chips, with sausages and pies for anyone who doesn’t want fish. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
Can the van come to our wrap?
Yes, it’s a popular wrap. Tell us the details.
What about crew who do not eat fish?
We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Tell us about other diets and we will be honest about what’s possible.
What if we only have street parking?
It depends on the road. A drive, car park or yard is usually easier; for the street, check the council’s rules.
Is there something for children?
Yes. Children usually love sausage and chips. Include children in your numbers.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. Bins for crew are worth planning.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
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 nobody has to miss the shoot.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is usually the easier option.
What happens on the day
Changes on the day are fine: we can start a little later or slow the pace. Long summer days in Edenbridge, with light until about 9:20pm, suit evening wraps outdoors, while by late September it’s nearer 7:05pm.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Preparing for the day
- Let us know the serving time
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Plan where the queue will stand
