Fresh fish and chips in Greenhithe
Working with your venue
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
If you’re booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we will talk you through the process. We are happy to liaise with facilities on parking and timings.
Film set catering for your shoot in Greenhithe
A van can get a crew fed quickly within the lunch break, with no kitchen needed on site. Whether it is location filming and wrap celebrations, we will put together a menu of cod and chips, sausage and chips and haddock and chips.
For a location shoot near Greenhithe, base might be in a field or farmyard, so ground conditions matter. We keep the menu short: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.

Allergies and dietary needs
Nearly every event has some special diets. To plan for them:
- Agree the waste plan with locations
- Send final numbers the day before
- Arrange something for anyone with needs we can’t meet
- Tell us about coeliac crew specifically
We arrive at base in good time and set up.
End the shoot with a chip van wrap.
A closer look at the menu
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it is what most people in the south ask for. We batter it and fry it to order.
Mushy peas
No fish and chips is complete without mushy peas for many people, and they’re on the menu.

- What happens if the event is cancelled or moved
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- How many hours the van serves
How the day works
We work to your timings. If things run late, we hold off cooking until you’re ready, so the food is still fresh when it’s served. In December, daylight in Greenhithe ends around 3:50pm, so a late lunch or wrap at base needs lighting. Summer shoots have daylight until about 9:20pm.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A photo of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for the crew.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Getting ready for the day
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Share the timings for the day
- Get permission for the van from the venue
