A chip van near Kingsmead
Film set catering in Kingsmead, fried fresh
A chip van fits right in at seaside locations. Whether it is live events and broadcasts and location filming, we can cook sausage and chips, mushy peas and pie and chips and more.
Near Kingsmead, crews may be miles from anywhere to eat, so lunch at base matters. We cook inside the van, right where your crew are, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.
Why choose a fish and chip van in Kingsmead?
Takeaway rarely reaches a location hot. A van cooks at the unit base. Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so it helps to give us the postcode.
Why Kingsmead hosts choose us
- Quick service from the hatch
- Rain does not stop the fryers
- Everything cooked to order at your event

What the van needs
Plenty of places work for the van, but there are a few things to check:
- Level, firm ground at base
- Permission for the van at base
- A clear route to base
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.

Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.

Kingsmead questions
Is Kingsmead too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
How far is Kingsmead from London?
About 61 miles from central London.
Do you do wrap parties?
Yes. It is a great way to end a shoot.
Can you adjust to schedule changes?
Schedules move, and we plan for it. A contact on the day is all we need.
What if the weather’s bad?
We cook inside the van, so rain does not stop us. It is worth planning some cover for the queue.
When do you arrive?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
How much space do you need?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, near your crew, and space for a queue. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes. Everything is fried fresh in the van, then handed over hot from the hatch.
Organising for someone else?
Parks, greens and streets normally need permission for a catering van. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan service to match. Staggering groups helps a lot.
