About our film set catering in Kingsfold
We work with your location manager or production office on access, parking and timings. On the menu are sausage and chips, cod and chips and haddock and chips, and we’re regularly asked to cater end-of-shoot parties and crew morale days.
Near Kingsfold, crews may be miles from anywhere to eat, so a van at base is a big help. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet.

What affects the price in Kingsfold
Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- Whether a minimum applies
- The date and time of year
- Distance and any road charges
- Access and parking
Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. Ask us what applies to your shoot.
Getting an accurate quote
Good planning starts with a few facts. Try to include:
- A picture of where the van would go
- Roughly how many people, including children
- The address or venue name

How the day works
When we arrive, we position the van, set up the hatch and get the fryers up to temperature. Once we’re hot, we cook to order, timed around your shoot. Winter shoots near Kingsfold chase the light, which goes at about 3:55pm in December, so lunch at base is frequently in daylight but a wrap meal is not.
- We start with a few details about your shoot.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for the crew.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Get permission for the van from the venue
- Tell us when you want to eat

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
For planners, venues and organisers
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. Ask the council or landowner early.
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Staggering groups helps a lot.
