About the food
Curry sauce
Chip-shop curry sauce is a mild, slightly sweet British classic, great with chips and sausages.
Sausage and chips
A sausage and chips is the chip-shop classic for younger crew and fish-dodgers.
About our film set catering in Faversham
We work with your location manager or production office on access, parking and timings. We serve mushy peas, pie and chips and haddock and chips, and typical bookings are for crew treats on long shoot days and music video shoots.
For a shoot in Faversham, tell us where base is and how to reach it, and we’ll plan the route. The menu is short on purpose: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.
Planners, venues and businesses
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
Planning an event for a club, school or charity in Faversham? A fish and chip van draws people in and almost everyone likes it. Tell us about the event and we’ll take it from there.
How it works
Nothing is cooked before it’s needed. Each portion is battered and fried as it is ordered, which is why it tastes like it does at the seaside. At midsummer, Faversham has light until about 9:15pm, while by late September it’s nearer 7:00pm.

- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive in good time to set up.

Before we arrive

Planning a shoot in Faversham
Faversham is about 9 miles west of Canterbury, in Kent. We park up at homes, halls, workplaces and venues in Faversham and nearby villages. Faversham is one of 922 places in Kent where we bring the van. Our nearest city page is Canterbury, about 9 miles away.
With the A2 and A251 nearby, Faversham is easy for the van and the trucks to reach. Nearby historic houses include Belmont House and Gardens (3.5 miles south-west). Period locations like these typically keep vehicles well away from the house, so agree the base early.
Anywhere in ME13, we can fry fresh for your crew. We can serve a shoot on streets such as Bedlington Square, Market Place and Market Street or the roads around them, as long as there’s somewhere for the van. Faversham is on the A2 and A251, so it is easy for us to reach with the van. We also bring the van to shoots in Davington (1 mile north-west), The Brents (1 mile north-east), Preston (1 mile south-east), Ospringe (1 mile south-west) and Whitehill (1 mile south-west). Further out, we also take the van to Ashford (12 miles south), Canterbury (9 miles east), Sittingbourne (7 miles west), Whitstable (7 miles east), Herne Bay (11 miles east) and Minster (8 miles north-west).
Well-known places in the area include Newnham Castle (4.2 miles south-west).
- Nearby schools include Queen Elizabeth's Grammar School (less than half a mile east)
- Local pubs include Mechanics Arms (within half a mile north)
How we price a fish and chip van for the crew
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, because of:
- Service time
- Distance and any road charges
- Cod, haddock or both
- Parking and the way in
A chip van often compares well with a plated meal, as there is no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. We will send you a quote.
Details that help
To check availability and price, we need:
- A picture of where the van would go
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- Where you’d like the van to go
- Dietary needs, with numbers
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: where the van would park, how to get in, numbers and timings. A picture of the spot helps too. When you are ready, use our quote form.

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
A wrap party at a venue costs more. A van keeps it relaxed and simple. Larger groups typically cost less per head, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Give us your numbers and we will quote.
What you get with us
- Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy on the side
- Hot food handed straight over
- A van that becomes part of the event
- No kitchen needed
