Kenley questions
Could you trade in Dollypers Hill?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council. Ask them first.
What about parking in Kenley?
London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We’ll work around it.
Do you need power or water?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Mention any power or water available and we’ll confirm the rest.
Do you do anything other than fish?
We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we’ll tell you what we can offer.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes. We fry to order in the van at your venue, then handed over hot from the hatch.
Can the van park on the street?
That depends on local parking rules. A drive, car park or yard is generally easier; for the street, check the council’s rules.
How fast is service?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Give us your numbers and service window, and we will plan service around it.
What do you bring?
All the cooking happens in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site.
About our film set catering in Kenley
Everything is cooked as crew come up, so lunch is hot and fresh. Whether it’s crew treats on long shoot days and fashion shoots on location, we will put together a menu of cod and chips, mushy peas and pie and chips.
Shoots in Kenley frequently use streets, yards and car parks as unit bases. Locations will have the parking arrangements. We cook inside the van, right where your crew are, so the batter is still crisp when it’s handed over.

The process
We need a level, firm place to park the van, near your crew, which we agree with you beforehand. Light in Kenley lasts until about 9:20pm at midsummer; for dawn calls or late wraps, plan lighting at base.
- The production office sends us the location, dates, numbers and lunch time.
- You get an access check and a quote.
- We arrange the van’s spot at the unit base with locations.
- We serve hot from the hatch when lunch is called.
- Afterwards we pack up and leave the unit base clean.
How to prepare
- Let us know the serving time
- Keep space clear for crew at the hatch
- Ensure the van can get in

Planning help
Takeaway run or book a van?
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.

What the van needs
A fish and chip van is a vehicle, so the spot matters, so a few things need checking. These are the things we check:
- Lighting for early or late service
- Permission for the van at base
- Space in front of the hatch
As a London location, Kenley is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.
