About the food

How our film set catering works in Godmersham
We work with your location manager or production office on access, parking and timings. For fashion shoots on location and music video shoots, we’ll put together a menu of sausage and chips, cod and chips and mushy peas.
Rural locations near Godmersham can be a long way from food, so a van at base is a big help. We cook inside the van, right where your crew are, so the batter is still crisp when it is handed over.
Looking after everyone
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Try these:
- Ask for dietary needs on the crew info form
- Give us a map or what3words for base
- Tell us about coeliac crew specifically
- Name a contact in the production office
We clear up quickly after lunch.
Bins at base keep the location clean.

How it works
Service is quick: everything is handed over hot from the hatch, and people can eat where they like. When service is finished, we pack up and leave the pitch tidy. Winter shoots near Godmersham chase the light, which goes at about 3:50pm in December, so lunch at base is frequently in daylight but a wrap meal is not.

- Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
- We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we are done.

Do we need to provide anything?
Let us know about power and water at the site when you enquire, and we will confirm what we need.
Can the van come to base?
Normally, if there’s level, firm ground. Locations will decide where.
How we price a fish and chip van for the crew
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- Your choice of menu
- The length of service
- Any minimum charge
- The number of meals
Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. We set everything out in your quote.
What we need to know
The more we know about your shoot, the better we can plan. Try to include:
- Where you’d like the van to go
- A picture of where the van would go
- Allergies and diets you know about
- Where the event is
Every quote is worked out for your event. Give us your date first, and we’ll check availability straight away.
Why choose a fish and chip van in Godmersham?
