Film set catering for your shoot in Goddington
Fried-to-order service suits a lunch break, with no kitchen needed on site. For unit base lunches and crew treats on long shoot days, we will put together a menu of sausage and chips, mushy peas and cod and chips for your guests.
Shoots in Goddington frequently use streets, yards and car parks as unit bases. Locations will have the parking arrangements. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.

Your questions about a fish and chip van for the crew in Goddington
Can the van park in Hewitt's Chalk Bank?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Can the van go to venues in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Do numbers include extras?
Yes. Let us know total numbers.
Can the van park on the street?
It depends on the road. A drive, car park or yard is generally easier; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
Do you do wrap parties?
We do. It is a great way to end a shoot.
What do you bring?
The van comes fully equipped to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.
Can you cater for allergies?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Tell us about allergies in advance.
Do you take everything away?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.
Perfect for your shoot in Goddington
It’s a morale boost on a tough day.
Whatever brings people together, fish and chips from the hatch goes down well. We’re often booked for:
- Commercials and music videos
- Wrap parties
- Photo shoots
- Unit base lunches
For cast and crew travelling by train, Chelsfield station is about 0.7 miles away.
Questions to ask before booking
- When payment is due
- How much space the van takes up
- What the price includes, item by item
- VAT, if it applies
Space, access and the venue
We’ll be honest if a spot won’t work, and suggest an alternative. What matters most:
- Access checked by locations
- Agreement from the location manager and landowner
- Away from the shooting area’s sound
As a London location, Goddington is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we serve
- Crew lunches
- Pie and chips
- Sausage and chips
- Mushy peas
- Cod and chips
- Haddock and chips
Allergies and dietary needs
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. We suggest:
- Agree how the base is left
- Update numbers if they change
- Plan an alternative for anyone we cannot cater for
- Let us know about coeliac disease
Used oil leaves with the van.
Cover near the hatch helps on wet days.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
Food your guests will love
Curry sauce
Some people will not eat chips without curry sauce, so we bring it along.
Pie and chips
A pie and chips is proper comfort food, and it’s a favourite in colder months.

Planning a shoot in Goddington
Goddington is about 1 mile south of Orpington, in Greater London. Anywhere in BR6, we’ll come to your venue, home or workplace. Goddington is one of 764 places in Greater London we cover. You can also see our page for London, about 13 miles away.
Among the historic houses close to Goddington are Down House (3.5 miles south-west) and Lullingstone Castle (3.7 miles east). Period locations like these usually keep vehicles well away from the house, so agree the base early. Goddington is within about 4 miles of the Kent Downs National Landscape, and locations in protected landscapes frequently have rules about vehicles.
For shoots in BR6 and BR5, we just need to know where the van can park and roughly how many crew. Streets in the area include Eton Road, Stowe Road and Court Road, and the van can serve a shoot on any of them with a suitable parking spot. Nearby, we also serve shoots in Chelsfield (1 mile south-east), Orpington (1 mile north), Derry Downs (1 mile north), Maypole (1 mile south-east) and Bopeep (2 miles south-east). Further out, we also take the van to London (13 miles north-west), City of Westminster (15 miles north-west), Marylebone (15 miles north-west), St Pancras (15 miles north-west), Shoreditch (14 miles north-west) and Hoxton (14 miles north-west).
A little further out are Lullingstone Castle (3.7 miles east) and London Borough of Bromley Museum (0.9 miles north). Within reach you will find The Warren and Summer Hill.
- Schools near Goddington include St Olave's and St Saviour's Grammar School (within half a mile west) and Harris Academy Orpington (0.6 miles north)
- Pubs nearby include Five Bells Public House (0.9 miles south-east)
The process
We arrive in good time before you want to eat, set up and bring the oil up to temperature. Your crew can wander over to the hatch once service starts. Winter shoots near Goddington chase the light, which goes at about 3:55pm in December, so lunch at base is often in daylight but a wrap meal isn’t.
- Contact us with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for the crew.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Getting ready for the day
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Get permission for the van from the venue

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Ordering takeaway to a location is unreliable. The van cooks on site. Distance and any road charges make a difference, so it helps to give us the postcode.
