Planning an event in Kingston Gorse?
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
About our film set catering in Kingston Gorse
A chip van fits right in at seaside locations. We are frequently asked to cater wrap celebrations and crew lunches at base, with sausage and chips, mushy peas and pie and chips.
Rural locations near Kingston Gorse can be a long way from food, so a van at base is a big help. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your shoot, so the batter is still crisp when it’s handed over.

FAQs for Kingston Gorse
Do you come out to small places like Kingston Gorse?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can you serve near the sea around Kingston Gorse?
Yes, of course. Wind does not affect the fryers, but plan a sheltered spot for the queue.
How fast is service?
Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. We’ll talk it through when we quote.
Do you have allergen information?
Tell us about allergies when you book, and we will tell you what’s in each item.
Can the van come to our wrap?
Yes. A chip van suits a relaxed wrap party.
Can the van park on the street?
Only where it’s legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Check with your council first.
Can you adjust to schedule changes?
Schedules move, and we plan for it. A contact on the day is all we need.
Do you take everything away?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
How the day works
We get there well before service, park the van and get the fryers going. Crew typically gather round the hatch once service starts. On a winter shoot near Kingston Gorse, the light goes by about 4:00pm, so the unit base needs lighting for late service. In summer, light lasts until about 9:20pm.
- We start with the location, call times and crew numbers.
- We check the route and the unit base and send a price.
- We arrange the van’s spot at the unit base with locations.
- We set up at the unit base and fry to order for the lunch break.
- We clear up and get out of the way.
How to prepare
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
- Share the timings for the day
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
